Tranny Neutral Noise

[z06forkicks]

Any of you out there experiencing a bit of noise in your tranny when in neutral? Mine tends to sound like a "box of rocks" when in warmed up and in neutral. This noise dissapears when I apply the clutch and put into gear, but comes back if I shift back into neutral and release clutch. Is this normal or do I need to go see the DEALER!!

Thank you "shedding petals". I'll sleep better now.

Many people complain of the same noise..It is quite common with the cars

My noise was hardly noticable, until I replaced the clutch. With my 231/237 112 cam and jingling sound, people ask if I need a tune up and a muffler.

I then tell them I spent money to make it sound that way.

Unfortunately it's normal

In the tape supplied with the car, doesn't Dave refer to that noise as "marbles in a can"? Or is that when you shut the car off with the tranny in neutral and the clutch out? I forget.

If it annoys you too much, press in the clutch and let it out very slowly so that you don't shock the running gears. On mine, 9 times out of 10 it then goes quiet.

It's one of the Z06's race car sounds! One of the threads last year had a member named US Marine who could not stand the box of rocks, ticking valves, and the tinkling exhaust. After much trolling here -US Marine sold his Z06. I like the little nuances that make the Z06 rough around the edges. This is Chevys way of reminding you that the Z06 is a thinly disguised race car.

If you install Borla stingers the noise will go away
