^impossible, throw out bearing is brand new...
less then 500 kms on it. clutch is a PT clutch and has less then 2500 kms on it
I've tried everything I figured it was my TOB as well
when clutch is pushed down, sound goes away.
chrysler dealership told me they took it apart and everything checked out ok.. yeah right.

lol, yeah leave it to them when they can't do shit for ya eh
I think its only due to the fact the car still moves from a to b..
I'm pretty sure with the nice sounds its making it won't be much longer till she blows.. then back to the dealer it goes.
it made the same sound before the new tob/clutch.. i put the new stuff in, and its still making the same sound.

I had both tob's they looked identical in my hand, and I even posted on here, and was told it was ok to use to neon one, there the same?SlvrACR wrote:Well i dont know what to tell you but the signs point that way. Are you using the PT TOB?

I think it's just that they are idiots and can't figure out how to put a clutch in. If they don't get the TOB in there right from the beginning, it will rattle.

That is exactly what my tranny sounds like on cold start up. Add in some MAD piston slap, a hair of rod knock, and you've got my car. I've been driving it like ever since I've owned it. Three years, over 100 000km, several drag, auto-x, and lapping days later it still going strong. Only makes that noise at cold start-up (sub 5°C ish) and gets worse the colder it gets. As soon as the weather warms up it goes away. As soon as the car warms up it goes away. I used to think it was the TOB until about a week ago when it was particularily cold and really loud I poked around a bit and it did seem to be coming from inside the tranny case somewhere. It's got to be a loose tolerance on something. If it were a bad bearing I should have scattered it and the tranny all over the highway by now.

If it was me... I'd take it to another dealership for another opinion particularly if you have warranty coverage.
If it was my car making this racket it would be into the garage asap.
BTW, keep documentation on this situation... particularly with respect to dates you visited the dealership, who you spoke with, what you told them and what their response was.

I never said that sound was normal, I just said mines been making a similar racket on cold start up for years and has yet to blow up. One day when I get some ambition and time when the car's not in use I'll track it down, but until then it keeps going just fine.

If your not satisfied with the dealer in Waterloo, take it to another dealer?
Seems like common sense, or call Head office and file a complaint that you feel your not satisfied.
Or take it to a private mechanic or a tranny shop, have them troubleshoot it, get a written estimate of whats wrong and take that to the dealership.

I agree with the others take it to another dealer. If your using an extended warranty, (after factory warranty) some independent shops honor extended warranty. There's a myth that only dealers can do extended warranties. HOGWASH! find someone other than where your taking it.

guys, its not extended..
the car has 41,000 kms.. thats about 27,000 miles.. the damn car has factory warrenty. here's the issue
the car has a transmission has about 8000 kms on it. (almost brand new) current dealer I took it to refuses to fix it because a) the tranny is new it cant be at fault, they already replaced the tranny because of the same noise just not as violent b) they supposbly opened it up and nothing was wrong "yeah right"
the car I bought it from wendells I burned bridges with when I bought the car and won't go back there, and every other dealer I go to looks up the history of service and just seems to want me out the door as quickly as I come in, so I'm left in this crappy loop.
I was thinking of getting the transmission rebuilt from some outside shop, and take pictures of whats broke etc, then send the bill to chrysler, but that probably won't work

Well, since the tranny is new...
Jack it up on one side, put it in 5th, and gun it. Blow the diff pin, get it towed to the dealer and have them fix it again.
This is a bad idea, I wouldn't do it.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me too. No one could figure out what was wrong. Then one day I took a close look at the engine and noticed that the driver's side of the engine was slightly lower that the passenger side. This problem came about after my clutch was replaced at the dealership.
What actually was happening was the transmission was out of alignment with the engine block. I removed my transmission mount, inserted trans mount insert and the problem went away.

Chrysler used to have something called a "Customer Arbitration Board" for warranty issues that were not satisfactorily resolved at the dealership level.
Just because they say they could not find anything wrong doesn't mean there was nothing wrong... it does mean they could not locate the source of the noise.
At this point I'd take it around to a few shops and gather up a few opinions... document those opinions as it may assist you with the resolution with Chrysler.
Sounds to me like the dealership had a hard time the first time around convincing Chrysler to pay them for the warranty work and parts... and they don't want to go through it again.

It definately is worse than a few weeks ago
Mine has not gotten that loud just yet, and yesterday I drained the MTF out of the trani, with the metal shavings, flushed it with an engine cleaner and dexron twice, and now I have Mobil 1 ATF multi-vehicle formula in it.
For the heck of it, when they installed your trani what fluid did they fill it with?
Does your trani have a sticker like in the picture below?

the last time the car was a the shop
the dealership told me that chrysler ordered them to try a new fluid? they did this... and it did dick all, and whats worse is.. the sound actually got worse so now I'm guessing they put in some nasty fluid, and some additives because thats what my invoice shows.
I did call chrysler canada in windsor and as I was talking to the representative the asshole was talking to the service manager from the dealership and he was completely siding with him.
he told me this
I will note down what you are saying
the dealership says sounds only occur at idle...
if the sound gets worse go back
^ it has gotten so much worse thats why I was back holy
^my response.. lol
he basically blew me off, so much for calling chrysler.
I have not tried chrysler international but I have a feeling if I call there I will just get told to call chrylser canada.
the car as of tommorow is getting dropped off at a Pioneer Transmission for a free inspection and estimate.
other then that is there anything else I should try calling?
And blackroseracing, yes my car does have that sticker and calls for atf+4

my car sounds very similar to this. it has ever since the first winter i drove it.
car is 3.5 years old with 76000 miles.
yours does seem a bit louder than mine, unless the video exaggerates the noise a bit.
