how long have you had the car? i've noticed that my tC is a little harder to shift when first driving than after it is warmed up a while. even compared to my supra, it seems to grind a little...

 

clutch pushed all the way in?

 

yah, i thought that might be my problem also. but, i always have my clutch all the way in.

 

I have the same problem as well... after driving around for a bit, it seems to be fine.

 

maybe the transmission fluid hasn't warmed up yet? i wanted to wait until the summer to see if it still made noise.

 

no i dun think its that it still does it after its been warmed up

 

i hear a soft/faint psssh. it sounds like a mini blow off valve i dunno what it is

 

the pssst is most likely your intake (even if stock) I know my tC did it as well

no idea on the shifting noise, my clutch on the civic was making some wierd noise for a lil bit today as well...

 

do you know if there is anything i could do to my stock intake to make that sound even louder, it sounds so nice and soothing lol

 

If its a 'tink' noise its common on Tcs and not a problem. Drive down a street lined with close buildings and a windows down, if you can hear it more clearly and it sounds like a solid engagement of metal its just the shift linkage.

If its a grind, well thats a problem.

 

hey kileli where in milwaukee are u from, im also from milwaukee if u got aim hit me up at pipster78

 

Add a CAI, i have INJEN and it sounds awsome...

 

hey, i see you play IDAS. i used to be hardcore into it. http://cfusionpm.com/initiald/

 

Ive had some strange noise when i'll drop to second gear and it sounds like a loud Breaking as if my engine was slapping the fire wall.

Only when in second gear though...there was a tiem i thought i put it in third but second and i went from like 1000rpm to about 5000 pretty quick on accident. And it made the noise again =/

 

I have the same issue too. First I though it was a fluk, it became more and more annoying. Brought it back to the dealer (1K miles) , they tighten a couple of bolts... problem still exist. Finally I had enough and traded it in for a 06'. The 06' don't have this issue!!

 

I believe that transmission fluid is especially thicker than other oils in your car. So in the winter, you'll feel those rough shifts. The problem goes away after your car is warm, and this problem doesn't usually pop up in the summer, unless there's a really chilly night.

 

Yeah i think it might be that. I hear the exact same noise in my 06. It seems to be louder going from first to sec. then as I go threw the gears it gets even more quiet. I think it is just the shift links.

 

tinking sounds are common... if you can drive smooothly then theres nothing wrong....

as a matter of fact all TOYOTA manual transmissions have that tinking sound.... i thought there was something wrong too but i checked the xB and Celica an they all make that noise...
