Initially, did you have more gear noise when the car is cold?
Yes, there is a small whine at certain cruising speeds, but I am referring to something else.
When cold, I hear what sounds like gears spinning. Once the car is warmed up, it goes away and I have to listen very closely to hear anything. However, at slow speeds in 1st after pulling out of the garage, I can hear gears spinning. Maybe it's the clutch, but I hear them when I am in gear, not when the clutch is depressed.
I tried pumping up and down on the clutch pedal as a test. When the clutch goes down, the noise goes away. When I release, it comes back. This also holds true for neutral. I let the car sit in one place, in neutral, and I can hear the noise whenever the clucth is not depressed.
What new sounds or behavior have you noticed afer installing the 4.55? Could it be the clutch making this noise? It was also installed recently. It really does sound like gears spinning/grinding. It's not very loud, but noticeable over the hum of the engine until the car warms up.
Afterward, all is fine. Is this normal? Is it something that will go away after some time? Also, this R&P has about 6000 miles on it.
Any ideas or suggestions? Interested to see if this is normal.
Finally, one last thing that seems to be common all the time, not only when cold. With the radio off, as I am slowly decelerating in 1st, as I come to a stop, I can also hear gears slowing down. Not very loud and not audible with the radio on. I have been listening for various things since it's been installed and this is another new sound that was not there previously.
These are all minor and something that has to be listened for, but I wanted to see other experiences and see if this is normal.
