  1. qikslvr: User ABPillinois had problems almost exactly like my decel fluttering noise. Under warranty, he had a bunch of bearings replaced, I'm assuming in the transmission. This solved his problem. See this post: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1311867&highlight=S32145AA030#post1311867 I am SORELY tempted to make an appointment at a dealership in the near future and bring this information to them. I'm frightened of how much this might cost, though. If it is bad or out-of-spec bearing(s), wouldn't it be better to take care of it now, rather than having it shred and go "boom"? Would any good transmission shop be able to tear into the tranny & differentials to do this kind of work?
  2. Thanks for this thread, folks. qikslvr, somebody pointed me to your wisdom when I recently posted a couple of times about a) TOB noise, and b) noise when coasting in gear. I got TOB chirping right after I had the ACT clutch and "streetlight" flywheel installed, and it got steadily worse. Not yet understanding "chatter" and wondering if something had come loose after a few weeks, I panicked and had them open it all back up measure, and put in a new TOB. ACT said everything was in spec, and I've learned how to coexist with it... mostly. The "chatter" from stop gradually got better, and I've learned how to drive it... but my wife hates it when she's driving it and my seven year old yells out, "Mommy!! You killed it AGAIN!!!" (She's a speedracer... had her Mustang up to 135 racing another 'stang on I-90 in Montana when we lived there... Ooops, off topic.) Anyway, I feel a lot better about the TOB issue. I'll see if my shop guys can fabricate something like that. My TOB chirp is getting louder and more frequent. Should I have a new one installed? qik, you're the only other person I've found so far with the noise/vibration. It started right after the ACT clutch/flywheel install as a buzz lasting about 0.25 to 0.5 second when I'd release the throttle. It's now a harsh fluttering vibration/superbuzz whenever I'm coasting in gear. It frightens me more than a little. I also noticed on my way home from the airport Friday night that I get a slight buzz/vibration at 69 MPH in 5th with cruise control set. +/- 1 MPH and it goes away, but it's the same kind of noise. The shop owner who supervises the work on my car has a theory that it's the "single mass" flywheel allowing something to vibrate in the transmission that was masked my the stock dual mass flywheel. If you can solve this for me, I will personally drive down to Omaha and buy you all the beer you can drink in one night, maybe throw in a good bottle of single-malt scotch. Hell, I'll drive to Omaha and pay you to do the work. It's on my way to work in Boulder...
