im in 3rd gear at about 4k rpm on the on ramp and than i go to 6th and it grinds every time! n e one else experiencing this

 

why are you going from 3rd to 6th? Especially when merging? Maybe it's the engine choking because it's out of the powerband... JMHO

 

yeah thats totally not recommended, try going up to 4th then 5th THEN 6th and see if it still grinds... i bet its not grinding, but its the safety thing thats not letting it get into 6th gear... try downshifting to 1st at a high speed, it wont let you shift into gear...

 

well u know how u almost red line ur car and than u put it in neutral for awhile cuz ur going about 70 ish in 3rd gear at high rpm i then put it in neutral and than pop it in 6th i don't pop it in right a way kinda cruise in neutral on the interstate than go to 6th... N e ways i went to the dealer this mornign and they must know something about the gears grinding and the clicking noise in the rear and they are replacing the tranny and fix the rear clicking.

 

That's whacked going from 3rd to 6th. I've heard of skipping a gear while downshifting but what's the point of skipping 2 gears while upshifting? Saving gas at the extent of killing your engine? 4k in 3rd is ~40mph, and at that speed in 6th gear while trying to merge will cause your engine to strain since it's probably below 2k rpm.

 

that was one of the most confusing run-on sentences I've ever read.

 

It makes just about as much sense as his shifting technique.

 

I've had the same thing happen going from 4th to 6th... Only if I'm going pretty quickly in 4th gear, though. I guess if you merged in 3rd and got up to 80 or so, you might feel like going straight to 6th... why waste time shifting to 4th and 5th? As long as you're letting the engine slow down while you shift, it shouldn't matter. Right?

 

Man that's kinda messed up saying stuff like that... I'm here to ask a Q and get help and u act like ur all perfect! IF u dont have n e thing to say that can help my Q than why write something.. but i guess not everyone are nice and helpful these days..

 

theres nothing wrong with shifting 3rd to 6th O.o.. what the hell are u guys talking about lol.. u can do 2 to 6 for all the car cares..

1st of all lets say hes at 6k RPM at 3rd gear..

Clutch +
Shift to N
unclutch..
*RPM DROPS*
*rev match*
Clutch
Shift to 6
clutch..

or lets just say he waits for the RPM to set to the right level.. blip it a lil with the throttle and sets 6th in.. from what i'm reading thats what hes doing.. if you guys are saying that is wrong then "shifting" in general is wrong

 

i wnna know how many owns a 6mt

 

Skip shifting from 3 to 6 might be out of the range of your synchros to handle (for the speed at which you are shifting). I've never skip shifted 3 gears, only two so I haven't experienced your problem.

Try this; see what the correct rpms would be in 6th at that speed. Hit the throttle after clutching in 3rd to get the rpms up to what they would be in 6th, then try shifting into 6th. If that still doesn't work my guess is your synchros are in need of some attention.

 

Thats odd, no matter how many times i push up on my tiptronic, it wont go to 6th gear

STFU you have one more gear than me dont complain lol

 

double clutch shift up should rid it.

 

Yup....u are right....may over work the engine if the speed is not high enough.....but that's right.... what the others are talking about i have no idea lol...u can do 4 to 6 ...3 to 6.....1 to 3....whatever floats ur boat...as long as u are moving "fast" enough
