So I'm a bit confused by what I am hearing in my truck at times.
Side story that is relavant, when I got the truck it shifted hard at higher rpms and the previous owner told me the synchros were just worn for third. It wasn't that it was the gear oil he put in the zf5 3000 miles ago incorrectly.
So I dumped that crap out and put amsoil synthetic atf in (5quarts) and moved on.. Everything shifted super smooth. I waited 10k miles and two days ago drained it again and put five quarts in. In my searches here I've read great stuff about over filling it so I'm contemplating doing that. I'd also like to find a kit with new shifter bushings as my stick wobbles side to side just enough to annoy me when I'm in gear. I've done this with my m5od and t18 before but haven't found the kit yet and figured when I do this it would be easiest to overfill down the neck at the same time.
It does feel even smoother now that I've flushed it twice. Can gun it like I'm running from lava down a volcano rpms up at three and shifts like butter.
However just like always when I'm sitting at an intersection with the truck in second gear and clutch pushed in, I just hear an awkward shimmy noise at times. I can't explain it, it's not consistent sometimes never does it at all and it goes away if the truck is idling in neutral.
I turned my idle up to 700 and it basically left so I assumed maybe my dmf was dying but I never get any other noise even if I shut if off with the clutch out in neutral. Then I took inspection plate off while at shop undercoating my new fuel tank (buddy let me use his lift) and he peaks in and says I have a new ish looking smf flywheel. With all the paperwork that the previous owner did have for the truck I sure never noticed that.
So is what I'm hearing all along the annoying gear rollover noise and everything else has just really though needed addressed had nothing to do with this?
It KINDA sounds like this (not my truck just using as an example)https://youtu.be/mvh6sSpq84M
But it's nowhere near that loud and doesn't even do it in neutral. I recorded a video but it sucks so I'm going to try again tomorrow on my way to work. I know this is kinda useless without the video of my truck, but I have time to type it up today so until tomorrow description is best I got.
I just sit at the intersection in neutral instead of with it in second holding the clutch down if I know I'm gonna be there for more then a couple seconds. I've never heard the noise it makes on either of my other trucks before, but I hear all sorts of idi noises I've never heard before haha
