Guys,
can you poit out wether my logic is wrong somewhere. I am speaking of a 2002 is200 sedan, 6speed manual
Observations:
- I hear a loud but low frequency noise (you can feel it aswell like bass coming from a subwoofer) from in 6th gear from the car between 85kph to 120kph.
- If I push in the clutch, the sound immediately goes away.
- In any other gear, at any speed, I cannot feel or hear this noise.
From this, my thinking that the above means the 6th gears sprockets and bearing (?) is getting worn out? Due to it only apperas in 6th, I would rule out the differential, the clutch or the dual masss flywheel (I a not sure about the flywheel yet). Any other thoughts?
- During shifting from 1st to 2nd, there is a loud click,
- During shifting from 2nd to 3rd slowly, the lever is stuck a little, and I can feel a mechanical "stop" on the shift lever. After this, it goes into rd smoothly.
From this, I would say the synchronisers are worn out between 1-2 and for 3rd gear.
If anyone sees a wrong logic above, please comment.
Thanks, Ferenc
