Sup guys,
I recently started hearing this annoying sound when shifting from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd only... It sounds like a low level "blow-off-valve" sound, (and no im sure i dont have a turbo) thats annoying me like crazy! Its like a whistle sound mixed with rolling pocket change sound...???...i dunno, its hard to explain. I am suppose to taking the car in on Friday morning for the rear ticking sound so, I'll have them check this out as well. Anyone else experience this?

 

does it sound like its coming from the shiftknob area?

 

ummm...not really. Its sounds like its coming from the passenger side of the car, and i dont knwo whether its from the tranny or something in the rear-end. Definitley annoying!

 

I hear that same thing coming from somewhere in the rear end of my z too

 

LSD and flywheel,

 

That's weird but never heard it.

 

I used to have that "chingy" sound coming from my speakers...then it got old

 

I'd be pissed too if my gears screamed "RIGHT THUURR!" everytime I shifted. Way below average.

 

Yeah, I hear "Holiday Inn" when I downshift occasionally.

 

Probably coming from the rear axel, its a common problem with the Z. If your car is still under warranty the dealers will fix it, they fixed mine, I got new bearings and a few other things all fixed under warranty. The sounds from mine did come from the right passenger rear of the vehicle and it sounded like a little loose change when inertia took place between switching gears. Final answer, take it to the dealer, they'll fix it.

Yeah I used to hear " It was wierd how we met Huh? At the Bank of american , I was with my son cashing a check! So I asked her outta respect uhh!...I dont know the rest lol!

 

I have the Lil Jon "Yeaaaah" everytime I shift.

 

I downshifted last week and got a bluescreen! Then after I rebooted, the car wouldn't recognize my Hotchkis sway bars.

 

Do you have a modified intake? After I put my AEM CAI on, I would get a low blow off sound when the car shifted sometimes. Also, check your air filter and replace it if necessary.

 

Yeah, exactly, when switcing gears, sounds like loose change! Well, i'll have to wait until this friday to find out... thanks!

 

I hear mike jones, "What it is, hoe?" everytime i shift from 5th to 6th

 

Hey Exta_Z, just wondering if you ever found out about the cause of that noise? What did the dealership say?
