Hey Guys, As some of you may know I just Installed my SPEC stage 3+ Clutch and Flywheel and have been having nothing but Issues with my Gear Box(Tightness/Stiffness) and now my brand new TOB that I Installed is making really loud noises while in neutral! Is mine Defective? If its not one thing its another, Just sucks I just got Tuned on E-47 this Sunday and now I cant really enjoy it cause I'm worried about my TOB and I cant seem to figure out why my gear box is soooo stiff and I get blocked going into 3rd gear at times too, I've had the clutch bled 3 different times and I dont even think that they were bleeding it right either, But I tried in installing ZZP's Adjustable Clutch Rod which helped to get the pedal adjusted off the floor more so I could get it up to stock engagement(before it was engaging right off the floor). Just looking for some HELP and Opinions, Oh and just needed to vent a little too

 

After some research it looks like thats exactly what it is a Defective TOB! Will GM pay for any of the Labor or for another new TOB? If not its not really a big deal as im sure my extended warranty will cover it, but its still kinda effed up, Any thoughts at all....? This happen to anyone else?

 

I went through three tob when I installed my last clutch before I hot one that worked right and didn't leak right out of the box. They seem to be hit or miss with these things. It wouldn't surprise me if yours was bad. I hope you get it figured out. But it kinda sounds like you already suspect the tob.

 

Thanks, I hope so too cause this is rediculous!

 

Soooo, I put yet ANOTHER new TOB in and it's STILL making noise! I cant believe that its still making noise, Anyone have any idea if it could be something else? I doubt it tho considering it sounds like the same exact noise as before. This Sucks.....

 

Is your shifter just feel right and lock into gears hard (in/out)?

Or does it make noise?

 

Well, It was really tight and hard and it would occationally block me from getting into 3rd gear, but as for now everything seems to shift better from getting the 2nd TOB installed but I really havent drove it around enough to really test it out enough tho. All thats happening right now is it makes like a loud ticking noise and matches with the RPM's of the engine, I shot a Vid of it but cant figure out how to post it! It did the same exact thing with the first TOB and wondering if it could be anything else at this point. I'm at a loss of words....

 

So you didn't test it before you put the subframe back in? Ouch

 

Im not the one doing the work, My work is and its getting frustrating cause its a lot of labor to do this sh**, Luckily I have a warranty and its been covering the repairs. But I'm not sure what the hell to do now

 

Anyone else have any thoughts? I'm really at a STALEMATE right now so any help would be greatly appreciated, Just want to be sure that its just been some faulty TOB's for sure.
