Omen Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Going into first when I am trying to engage the gear I hear a grinding or metalic type noise if I don't give it enough gas. I only noticed this recently has anyone else noticed this? Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 I think my explanation is off. It is not so much a grinding sound but a raspy or metallic type sound almost like a disel eninge sounds. And it makes this sound when I don't give it enough gas upon letting out the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 just take it to the dealer, if you want the problem fixed. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 unless you are talking about downshifting, this is not normal at all. it's only normal in downshifting if you are going too fast and trying to force it. Then it's not really normal either, it's just not good for it   but take yours in anyways My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feersum dreadnaught Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 you try pushing in the pedal next to the long one before pushing the lever? Â it really helped reduce the grinding noise on mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05LegacyGT330Ci Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 If your not giving the car enough gas this engine shudders quite violently and makes some wierd sounds if you catch it at the last second.

feersum dreadnaught Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 no wonder I can't seem to get anywhere. I've been flintstoning for the last 12,000 miles. Â but that way, there is not clutch stink to complain about, just those weak ass re-92s on the long down hills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbuktu Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 If your not giving the car enough gas this engine shudders quite violently and makes some wierd sounds if you catch it at the last second. +1. When I'm driving with people I always give it a little more gas then necessary to get started. That shudder is pretty rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 well took it to the dealer. No problems just not giving it enough gas. I was just trying to engage it just at the right spot to get a completely smooth and quiet shift but you got to give it gas to first get it going. I was just trying to be too perfect. And I don't know what that comment was about on the pressing the pedal to the left of the long one??? Anyway all it fine.

atcheng Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Yeah I'm trying to get a perfect start, but I find it difficult to start off at less than < 2K rpm without shuddering...thought it was because I was a newbie at the helm, but I guess no :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterdish Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 yeah I guess its the AWD and the 4 banger that doesn't have the lower end touqe my VR6 had... I noticed that as well Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawGT Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I start it off at 1000-1200 RPM's. Need to learn how to drive. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 I can certainly drive that is not the problem. The problem is me trying to be a perfectionist and get the perfect shift with not too much reving and not too little. I've been driving sticks since I got my license in 95 so that is not the problem. Just trying to find the perfect shift which is kind of stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
