Default No way! More bad luck for ninetres???

Yep. Big surprise.....I know. My trans or awesome fuddle converter has an issue. Its a Rossler TH400 stg2 that was re-freshed by Mikes Transmission, 14 passes and 1k miles ago. Started whining real loud right now with RPM. Also slow shifting gears once I pull the lever. Gonna try a new filter TM....but I'm sure its a pump or something

Bad thing is that I am pre-registered (and pre paid) for an LSx only private track day on Nov 22nd......and I'm pretty much broke. Poop.

I think its the turbo


J/K man, sounds like something trivial that will be a big hassle to fix. Cars suck.

One of me techy friends "thinks" it might be the converter since it makes the noise in neutral as well and corresponds with rpm. Thoughts? If its the converter the whole engine needs to be re-built with a different crank.......LONG sad story that you can read about in my previous threads.

I wouldnt doubt it being a converter issue. I have seen WAY too many fuddles take a **** so its very possible.

That bites, but you'll be back by the end of rainy season, probably stronger than ever...
