M6 tranny question I have a stage 2 Star clutch and pro 5.0 installed in my 1999 t/a. When I let the clutch up to start moving, I hear a high pitched squeel. What is up with that? I noticed that when the shifter is in neutral, there is a crazy whine sounding like ball bearings coming from the shifter or tranny. When I put the clutch pedal down and move the shifter into a gear, this noise stops... but if I put it back to neutral and let the clutch up, the noise comes back again. I am clueless about what is going on here.
Also, I am waiting on an adjustable master cylinder to come in. Jason is going to install it.
Shifting is real rough on this trans for some reason. It is a rebuilt tranny. Will the adjustable master clear all this up? Anyone ever heard of this stuff?
Thanks
Chris

Re: M6 tranny question Squeal is most likely your throw out bearing. Its attached to the slave.
Rebuilt trannys tend to shift a little stiff until you put some miles on them, try not to abuse it while it is breaking in. My rebuilt ones always felt a little notchy for the first few thousand miles.
An adjustable master is a necessity with ANY clutch in my opinion.

So does that mean my throwout bearing is bad? Jason installed the new one that came with the clutch...
BTW thanks for the reply!

Re: M6 tranny question OK, then I guess I've put enough miles on the tranny since the rebuild. I put 15K miles on my SPEC Stg2, installed at the same time as a dealer rebuilt tranny. I've got the latest hydraulics that were available in March of last year. Friction point seems to have come up a bit from the floor, especially after that grease monkey at the exhaust shop was trying to drive my car on the lift.
All gears are equally notchy. When I have the shifter in neutral, and slide it directly left, when it attempts to re-center itself it pauses like it catches on something. It was really bad the first time I took it off their lot. I had them install one of my old McLeod shims to get it driveable. Seems to me when I had the McLeod I could fix this problem by using a thicker shim...but, well, supposedly that's not necessary with the SPEC. David at SPEC had nothing more to offer. Other than poor engagement, and an install nightmare, the performance of the SPEC has worked for me.
I just want an inexpensive perfect solution that works the first time with my current hardware <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">
