when i drive my car ,it all seems normal ,but, when i am lets say at 40 ,and i know that i will be making a left hand turn, i will push the entire clutch, and shift into first. Although i will not take my foot off the clutch, i will use the break to allow my car to slow down...when i am roughly around the 0-20 km per hour, i will let go of my clutch foot and continue to drive normally....

the problem is, when i am at 40, and i push the entire clutch down adn shift into first.....It sounds like a silent drill is going off........prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr................. .its not the exhaust......and its not the sound of me downshifting, cause my foot is still firmly placed on the clutch......so, wut can it be....

someone please help........it aslo sounds like that if i go into second....not upsifting........only while going down in geears, but my foot is on teh clutch so it shoudl not matter

the only time I EVER downshift into shift into first is when i'm going 2 and i'm in 2nd and my car is bogging out. NEVER down **** into 1st.

Who taught you how to drive ?

Yea...never downshift to first...that's only for starting and stopping.. or anything less than like...2km/hr..

speedracer

dont worry about it... there is nothing wrong with your tranny... Just dont downshift into first, and the sound wont be there right? dont need any new bearings... the reason why your hearing the tranny is cuz you shouldnt be putting it into first while the car is rolling... if for some reason you you feel the need to keep using first without stoping first, then just deal with the sound...

Start worrying about weird tranny sounds when they are happening under normal driveing conditions...
