[QUOTE="tank34, post: 113482, member: 1332"] Hi Lee, I've more or less isolated the problem and it's definitely not steering wheel related. To describe this a bit more, the experience is very similar to those old manual volvo cars. You shift into first gear and slowly release the clutch, between clutch release and gear "engagging", there this lound groan/strain sound as if something is accelerating to "hook" on before it finally gets into gear. That's the exact sound I hear. Plus, it's quite intermittent. Am not clear on how to simulate except to drive around highway for 2 minutes, then come to a stop on the side of a hill for say 1 minute. If I step on the gas pedal now, the problem may just about surface. Ken [/QUOTE]
