What do you mean by crunch? Are you grinding the gears?

 

are you refering to the 1..2 shift. It just sucks. If you shift above 5.5k you may get it to grind a little and if you shift lower your fine. Some have had it reduced a little by changing the gear oil to redline.

 

last time i heard anyone say crunch the slave cylinder was bad.

 

well... "crunch" is really the only way I could describe it.

it IS... 1 => 2 shift change above 5k.

and no Becca... I'm not griding gears. [:@]

 

like i said before its just the crappy syncros. 1..2 sucks *****!!!

So yes, you ARE grinding gears but its not your fault.

 

I would say synchros too, if it was a slave cylinder or hydraulic problem all the gears would grind.

 

Mine does the same thing, When I had my clutch replaced they said the sincro's just suck donk....if i swap them its going to do the same thing.


Just shift early, depending on what turbo you have you may want to shift early anyways during hard acceleration because our boost almost cuts out after 5.5k anyways...

I've found faster 0 - 60 time shifting earlier at the end of 2nd gear.

Funny, I've never ran into this problem - at any RPM - other than it may get hard to pull it into 2nd - but I've never crunched, grinded or hiccupped while shifting. Hope mine never develops this problem - knock on wooden head - ouch! [&:]

 

Mine also does it and so did my 02 180hp TT i had before this one.
It's gotta be a common TT problem.
I did learn if you shift *like* your going to do clutchless shifting trying to push the clutch in and shift at that split sec slip point it won't grind.
people who have done clutchless shifting or driven a big rig know what i'm talking about.
