1st gear noise

Diversion · 04-14-2009, 07:50 PM

First gear on the test drive sounded like junk to me too, but I honestly think maybe that's what a beefy transmission might sound like. I could be way off base but I asked about the clunkiness/noise first gear made and people say it's normal.

Edit: Listened to the video on page 2.. yep, same sounds easing out on first gear.. I guess they all sound like this which means there's nothing to worry about - I bet it's just a beefy first gear with some gnarly teeth designed for longevity and launching in mind.

dont worry about the noise the gearbox on these is just normal thats what they said about these cars when they did all the road tests and the old ones did it two .These cars have a very low first gear thats what you are hearing.
