Re: shift noise

What is your Idle rpm now??<br /><br />I dont know your engine but if the idle is to high it can cause that sound.

Re: shift noise

Your rpm's shouldn't increase before it goes into gear. A clunk is normal, but if your rpm's are increasing from idle before it shifts into gear you should adjust the shift cable.
