Sc300

Midengtoy · 12-11-2005, 06:27 AM

Hello guys I'm new here and have a few questions. I know a SC300 is no Supra but it's practically the samething. I'm going to purchase one and just have some questions about it. The one I'm going to purchase is fine and all but there's something I'm confused about. When the car is on and is revved passed 3500rpm the tranny shakes. It shakes to the point where it makes a rattle noise. I can't see anything shaking from underneath the car but the shifter shakes and the noise can only be heard when inside the vehicle. My friend that use to own a SC said it was normal because the shifter sits right ontop of the tranny. I'm just wondering if this is normal because i've never driven a car that had a tranny shake this bad. The shifting is smooth and the car drive's good, it just shakes. I swear even 240s have better trannys if this is normal. Oh and also the vehicle doesn't need to be in gear, just revved passed 3500rpm.

Any info is appreciated.
Thanks guys and hopefully this sc300 is better to me than my MR2 was.

ur friend is right...teh shifter is ontop of hte tranny to say the least, its normal, ive driven stick sc300's before and it does rattle more than you would expect, but since the shifting is good and there is no grind in the gears then the tranny is good to go
