grinding noise when going in reverse?
 

Whenever I am in reverse and give it gas I hear a sound kind of in between a rattle and a grind. I think i had this in my old v6 firebird but I can't remember. Has anyone had this? Also would any of the following void the warranty to fix it:

Catback Exhaust
Cutout w/electronic Valve

Thanks in advance.

It's a 2002 z28 by the way.

2002 Silver Z28 with some mods to make it rumble :D

I don't think any of those mods would void a warrenty on your trans.

Sounds like your reverse synchro may me toast, or your stick needs adjusted?

How many miles on the car?

6700 miles http://web.camaross.com/bb/eek.gif

TTT

Has it been slipping out of reverse?? Mine slips out if I don't catch it right. I usually hold my hand on the stick while I'm backing up.

M6 or A4?

Where is the grind coming from?

It's an automatic and the grinding kinda sounds like its coming from the rear of the car maybe...hard to tell

What model year is it? If it is under warranty get the work done by the dealer.LOL.
