Popping out of 2nd gear under WOT

[ThatTmoGuy]

It just started happening tonight, at first I thought I just didn't get it all the way into gear but then it did it again. I just went over 9k miles and I'll admit that I beat on it a bit but not so much that I could have killed trans or clutch already. Looks like I'll be going to the dealer soon for a new trans if they can't fix it.

Wasn't another member having this happen in 4th gear?

 

[Ubryaj]

It does sound like you beat on it...

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

I think someone else had a problem with 3rd but I could be wrong.

I beat on it a bit but most of my driving is ~68mph in the middle lane flowing with traffic. I pretty much never do NLS anymore and I've been trying to hyper mile more often.

Yup. Thread can be found here http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/t5728/

[ThatTmoGuy]

That's why I couldn't find it, it was in the wrong section

remember to take out the bushings when you go in. I'm sure you don't have the stocks ones, but good luck finding a solution.

I have the stock ones in my toolbox :banana:

 

[Eric Smit]

oh, you're good. I'd swap them back before going in.

Along with my exhaust and intake I can't wait to see what excuse they give me. "Oh that's normal I wouldn't worry about it"

 

[Eric Smit]

nah, those are fine. hahaha. intake and exhaust really wake it up.

sounds like the awnser they've been giving everyone with trans problems "its fine, just hold it in gear when you shift" ;p.

Good luck man!

I hate to say it, but the NLS WILL cause damage to the sleeve and dogring. That damage will cause popout issues.

NLS on a stock trans is a bad idea, no matter how you slice it.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

well now it doesn't even need to be WOT just 2nd gear period. It was really annoying driving to work and skipping 2nd gear

Good luck trying to get them to fix it ! If a Trans guy actually take your tranny part he will know that it is cause by owner abuse if that is your issue .

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

with 9k on the ODO i would need to be jamming it into second at 70 to kill it that fast...

 

[Foxbox]

That's unfortunate.

Keep us updated on what they find when they replace it.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Hopefully it is something they can fix really easy, I don't want to drive around in some crap loaner for a month.

 

[Foxbox]

How do they do loaners at your dealer? At mine they've sent me to enterprise each time. The dealer pays for it and the guy at enterprise pretty much let me pick any car they had except for the premium ones.

Both cars I've had from them were brand new which was nice.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

IDK how my local dealership does it anymore it's been a while. at any rate I want to drive MY car not some crap loaner.
