Tranny noise?

I know a lot of members have swapped to both a greater amount of fluid as well as better fluids, Amy chance you’ve tried that route?

Yep! Replaced with 2L Motul DCTF hoping it'd make a difference. It's either slave cylinder or input shaft bearing I think.

Here’s to hoping it’s the slave cylinder? Idk I really hope it’s neither.

I'm at 166xxxkm, or 103xxx miles. I've had no issues besides replacing battery, had to replace worn front and rear brakes, and front engine mount. I had a knocking sound coming from the passenger side and I thought it was axle related; I did the powerflex engine mount insert and the knocking sound was eliminated. I have a mountune rmm and I think it reroutes the stress to the other mounts, so upgrading the transmission mount is on the agenda. I have no oil leaks or oil consumption,no coolant loss and no over heating issues. I've been tuned since 107xxx km or 66xxx miles and i have an upgraded intercooler and depo downpipe. I do maintain my car very well with probably excessive oil changes and already replaced plugs 3 times, not that I was having ignition issues, but just for peace of mind. Oil always changed with synthetic and transmission fluid changed 2 times. The 1st time with motul gear 300 and now I am running redline mtlv. The coolant flushed and refilled with motorcraft coolant. I also want to give credit to Randy Robles for his tunes on my car; personally he is the only tuner I trust. Bodywise, I have rust bubbling on the door seams.

My driving style is conservative on the brakes lol. I like to engine brake and I don't accelerate when I see a red light ahead. I don't tailgate. I keep a relatively long distance between me and the driver ahead. Ppl always rip by me going wtf and then they slam on the brakes after turning into my lane, realizing I was actually maintaining same speed as the driver ahead, not going slow. . I do however, do some left foot braking when doing some spirited driving on mountain twisties or when I feel like going really fast on a turn.
