then i would say your car is just flat out faster. wouldent say it has to do with manual shifting the tranny.Quote:

Triple Edge Performance - Home Page
probably a better place to get info also on our trannies.
why do you need a rebuilt one???? :D
well when i first got the car(december 2008) i noticed a small whining noise around turns when i would speed up from a dead stop. then when it got very cold out i started my car in the morning and it whined extremely loud. only for a second tho. then after a night of drivin around, the next morning i started it and the noise was there for 5min straight. now it whines in park, nuetral, the 2nd half of first gear, the 1st half of second gear, and shifting from 2nd to 3rd. i talked to the guy at Milzy Motorsports and he basically said that i need to rebuild my trans.Quote:

remember its a family sedan and the trannies are not built for all out performance. i would take it easy on the old gal if you want the tranny to stick around. yea i romp on it but you gotta be nice with the gear changes and differentals.
yeah im really babying it now. this morning it was whining the whole way to school. thru every gear and even when i stopped. but thanks, imma send trannyman a pmQuote:

Umm..dumb question...What's PCM? I'm trying to learn the terms and my learning curve is massive.
Powertrain Control Module. The computer that controls the engine and transmission.Quote:
