2/3 times when I do a no lift shift from 1st to 2nd it grinds a little bit, any idea why? the clutch is fully depressed and it is in competitive mode. the car only has 9000 miles on it.

 

Not fast enough. Must be faster than 0.2 seconds to activate NLS. Practice

Edit: Grinding is probably occurring at some point due to improper clutch pedal use. Dunno what else it could be. Maybe you let the clutch out too soon?

 

i know im shifting plenty fast enough, i dont know if im doing something messed up with the clutch or not timing my depressing right. guess i need to practice. btw no clutches for our cars yet?

 

i'm sorry but you have an exact copy of my car

and you're probably letting out on the clutch too fast i've done it before...

 

that depends on what color your interior is

 

Does it grind without NLS? If so your syncro is going bad.

 

no only when i nls

 

You're doing it wrong. I would bet that it is improper use of the clutch.

 

 

dunno i have a grinding problem too.... when i put it in reverse... i think it is cause the syncros (sp?) are outta line cause my clutch is fine

 

This has nothing to do with grinding ONLY during a NLS attempt.

 

When parked and the car won't go into reverse...simply put it in 1st and roll forward alittle bit...then go to reverse.

 

maybe ur to excited and dont have the cluch all the way down before u shift, **** i got it right after 2 tries, its awesome isnt it. lol

 

Lol I pretty sure reverse is unsyncronized fellas.

It's possible that the clutch needs to be bleed. A small amount of air will only manifest during high speed shifts.

 

I cant figure out when I try to do it, it pops then makes this squeaking sound in the front. Almost like grinding a gear. It's holding boost etc but I don't want it to **** my tranny up. Wish I could find more insight on what the hell is going on.

A Tech I talked to explained to me that first and reverse are both unsynchronized. They are also the "same gear" on ours, just connected in two different ways. I was unclear if he meant the actual physical same gear though, but that's what he made it sound like.

I've had the reverse problem too. On occasion I've also had a first gear problem. If you let you the clutch for a sec, put it back in, and then try again it again it usually clears it up. In addition, putting it into another gear (keeping the clutch in this whole time of course) and then trying again also helps I've found.

It seems to not do it so much anymore as it used to. I've also started keeping it in first at stop lights and such more often to avoid being stuck there for a few seconds with cars behind me if I suddenly have problem with first... I avoid looking like a noob or something that way.
