SST Grind on Startup
#31
Make a total pain of yourself... so that once they hear it happen just one little time, they'll think - "aha, now we can get that guy off our backs!"... and do something constructive.

Just another updated for anyone who encounters this problem. I took a nice video of the sound with the door open on startup to show to the service people and then brought it in last night. I let it sit overnight at the dealership and then I went early in the morning right when they opened and started my car. Luckily it made the grinding sound this time. I just received a call and it looks like they are going to replace the transmission. I guess they talked to whoever they need to and they got the okay to replace it. I will post again when the tranny is replaced. Thanks everyone for all the help.

Here is a video of what happens on startup. You might have to turn the sound up as I was using my iphone. Please tell me that is not a normal occurance. BTW it is right at the beginning of the viedo so you have to be ready to listen for the sound. Thanks.

I suggest you doggedly persist in taking it in. Instruct them on how they can try to replicate it... ie. Leave it parked outside in the cold overnight, then start it first thing the next morning.

When I start my car there are a crunching/grinding/clicking sounds (not like a grinding of gears sound, but more of a clunking sound if that makes sense). It happens every startup and upon inspection, the dealership said it was normal...the gears were setting..something like that.

How did it go?

Any updates on how the car is now? Can u still confirm its a transmission issue? I'm having the exact same problem on cold start after leaving the car parked for a day or so.. Have also read quite a few threads about this same issue.. I think one other person claims the dealer replaced the timing belt and fixed the issue.. Would love if u could confirm before I take my car to the dealers

The car is running fine with no problems and I have stuck around 15-20k on the new tranny. I haven't heard anything about the belts but maybe you could try that also. Just make sure to start the car in the morning with the tech guy and the service writer so they can hear the noise.
