[Shotimes] Tranny noise

[Kerry Kinion]

Tell me more please!  I didn't want to call it a grinding sound because
it's not.  Describing sounds thru email is tough! :-)  Describe "grunch"
as best you can.  And what is the "famous SHO tranny gear
Rollover"?

It is rather quiet, yet prolonged when letting out the clutch.  Once
again, and I hate to say it again, it's more of a low toned "ticking"
noise.  If this is normal - COOL!!

I understand (well kind of) the grinding when putting the car in
reverse.  But this is a "tick"!

Gotta go - the guys in white suits, holding a straight-jacket just
pulled up!!

If it sounds kinda like a quiet "grunch", when
starting from a stop, it is the famous SHO tranny gear
rollover. Nothing to worry about.
