When i start out from first gear i hear a short loud grinding noise when the clutch grabs, it also happened a few times going into second :sad any ideas? The car was fine on my way to work and when i went to lunch, didn’t start until i was almost home ---

I’ve read good things about Redline 75w-90 gear oil with Z32’s, but idk what the recommended weight would be for your car. I use Royal Purple Synthetic 75w-90 and still grind on occasion when shifting quickly or at high RPM’s. ---

My Elantra grinds into 2nd occasionally. Its done that since the car was new and Ive put 63k on it already. I was told to put the Redline gear oil in the tranny but never got around to it. ---

I just listened to the problem he’s describing this afternoon, it doesn’t grind when going in gear, it grinds when taking off from a dead stop or when shifting gears AFTER the car is in gear, it’s when the clutch is being released is when it makes a quick, but loud, grinding noise. Definitely not the common grinding when going into gear problem. ---

If it’s a puck style clutch they sometimes bark and chatter. Most econoboxes don’t have synchros for first, even if they do it’s just for downshifting into it. ---

Sorry Rioux I’m writing back since your slackin on this :lol it’s definitely not chatter at all, not a stock clutch, it’s an ACT but i’m not sure what model, Rioux can chime in on that one. ---
