Calling all 6MT N54s - assistance with a quick test
I'm trying to isolate an issue on my car and was thinking of asking some of you for assistance, especially those with Wavetrac LSDs installed, but would Like the stock diff guys to chime in as well.
Here's a quick and simple test:
1) Get the car coasting at about 100km/h (speed isn't important just need the car rolling for a 20-30 secs)
2) Press the clutch pedal to the floor (disengaging clutch) and HOLD it there
3) Grab the shifter and start moving it up/down from 3rd to 4th gear and back. Try not to pause in neutral, just pull and push as quickly as possible between these two gears and when doing this and don't lift your foot off the clutch pedal.
On my car every time i go down into 4th from 3rd it'll thump in the rear as if somthing hit the floor in the trunk (not if I go slower pausing for a half sec in neutral).
Note, it's not isolated to 3rd-4th gear upshift. You could do 1-2 or 2-3 or or 3-4 or 4-5 (less loud). I can't hear it on 5-6. Downshifting never thumps...
Greatly appreciated..
