Update on the leaky transmission..........

[JPK]

I just got off the phone with the dealer. I should get my RL back tomorrow as they were putting it back together when I talked to them.

I was told that they had to replace half of the casing due to faulty forging.

You guys might also wanna keep a close eye on your trannies.

Anyhow, I'm very excited to be getting back my baby and getting rid of the Cavy rental.

i do think im going to take it to the dealer when i have some time.


im tired of the sound it makes while in gear and especially on acceleration.

its supposed to be quiet.....not "pretty much quiet" haha.

[JPK]

Are you talking about the transmission making noise?

I haven't noticed that mine is but then again, I have the upgraded, 6 speaker audio system in mine and it's usually on pretty loud.

When I get it back, I'll turn it off and listen.

UUUUUURRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!


Just got off the phone with the dealer. They're not done putting the tranny back on. I won't get my baby until tomorrow.


Damn, I wish the LSD were available to us. Now would have been a great time to have one installed.

I can hear the same noise with the windows down driving next to a wall or building. The dealer said it was normal...NO WAY it's normal.

It goes back to the dealer Thursday to be looked at. I told the dealer to have a loaner ready and the will maintain possession of the car until it is fixed. If not..they can have it back!

It's a shame cause I really love the car but the tranny noise is killing me!

[JPK]

Well, as of tomorrow, they will have replaced the half of my tranny housing. I'll keep an ear open for the noise you guys are talking about.

yeah definitely let me know howsitgoing as to what that sound is, id really love to get somethin done about it as well, and it would be great to actually know going into it.

JPK did u ask them about the LSD, it might be available. doesnt hurt to try, heck maybe since the tranny is out, they'll cut u a price on labor, since the tranny is ripped apart.
