I have searched and searched and seen similar issues but not exactly what I am experiencing. Peoples descriptions can be different than others so I finally decided to post something, I'll do my best to describe whats going on.
This is a manual transmission, 2018. I have driven manual all my life in cars, big trucks etc. I did change out the stock shifter to a barton however the issue existed with the stock unit. Pretty much from day one. Dealer has looked at it and could not see anything (lash was good to go, mounts looked good etc.) or replicate the issue. I ignored it for a year and the other night I had a friend drive it to make sure I wasn't crazy (he's an ASE master tech for 30 years, teaches auto tech at community college now). He could replicate it and feel it, but other than that he didn't have much to add (we got side tracked) other than to start checking obvious things underneath first. Maybe I am just sensitive or not used to the tr6060. Who knows...but here goes.
Occasionally (not all the time) I hear/feel a thud coming from either the transmission or somewhere behind it back to the rear end during an upshift into 2nd and occasionally from 2nd to 3rd. Clutch in, right about 2,800-3,000 rpms, just before getting it into second, it makes a thud and almost feels like something is moving just before it slips into gear. This happens under load and under moderate speed (not inching along and not hauling ass).
Everything else feels and sounds normal. Its not hard to get in or out of gear, there is no unreasonable amount of notchyness, slop, no loud whine, grinding etc. One thing I am doing soon is the clutch delay valve delete. Other than that, am I missing something that's pretty common? Thanks for any input in advance!
