    Hey Guys,

    So I been having some issues with my transmission it has been making this really funny wheering noise when I down shift (btw i have the 08 gts w/ CVT and 43k miles) or even let off the gas. Its been getting louder and louder.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    That Wheering sound is the turbo kicking in.

    Just push the petal to the floor and GO!

    Hey just got the same problem; when 15 mph in the parking lot i accel and let off the gas i get that low wheering sound. Not sure what it is; do you have an intake installed? let me know what your dealer says

    Just warning you they made me wait until Monday to get it tested because they are so busy. Surburban Mistsu closed.... so they got all their business

    all i have is the injen intake but no pulley...so i guess it really is the cvt not the intake or any other mod... i would say put the stock intake back in before you go to the dealer so they don't pull any shananigans

    When I'm braking my car sounds like a plane landing, my ES did it too, and my RA

    we're not talking about braking (its related to your braking system). ours is with the deceleration at low speeds.. i hope this warranty covers it

    So they suggested a transmission flush... so we'll see if that helps...

    are they making you pay for the flush?? if so... 20k miles and you already need to flush the tranny?? wow
