Quiery for VX manual owners

Yeah i got it too...
DO you get it when your say in 1st and just coasting at like 2000rpm?
Just a very subtle whine

 

yeh i got that....lol one of the guys at work thought my car was supercharged...lol

 

I get it aswel when changing gears the engine holds the revs for a few seconds while gear shifting, i have no idea why Holden made it this way.

Funny actually you should say that Ryan, I think at times it almost sounds like its supercharged, it has that noise about it haha

 

yeh i dont mind it hey....but then it sorta makes u wish u had one though....lol

 

Ye I love that sound. But you get over it soon or later. hehe

 

haha
i had a kid ask if my car was turbo...i was told that my gearbox had a whine to it, but the dude that i bought it off said he got it checked when he bought it cos he was concerned that it was buggered but apparently it's the way they are...

hey Winter my car, when i shift quickly, seems to hold revs or even rev up a bit through the shift...i've that shifting more carefully and slowly stops it a bit...anyone notice this characteristic aswell...doesn;t bother me, i think it's fun.

 

yeh mine does rev up too hey....apparently its to do wid the fly wheel that holden used think its dual mass designed to make the gear changes smoother....all i rekon it does but is make you sound like a **** driver...lol :thumbsup:

 

mine does the same to

 

yeah i the owner did say something about dual mass flywheel...i wasnt sure if it was stock or the guy before him did it though...apparently the original owner was an enthusiast and it was peffectly clean all the time and stuff, so i wouldnt have been surprised if it had something done to it...but i guess not now...its mainly when i get up it that it happens...

 

yeah i have that same humming sound too. sounds like a mini turbo.. i find that when you are driving it hard and that noise comes up it feels like there is an extra kick in it when it starts to make that humming sound...

 

yeh i get that whine too in the lower gears. and it also holds the revs during gear changes. its a common misconception. i used to think it was a fault but thats just the way they are. n i wouldnt want her ne other way.......

 

lol....vt/vx/vu 5sp's represent! :w00t:

didn't no there were so many of use that had manny's :thumbsup:

cheers
ryan
