Quote from skstibi :

Other than a slight whine in 5th, no. They normally do though.

I only had the truck for a few days and had not had the time to look it over before my sister took it for a 600 mile trip and it did not make the last 300. Ended up costing $2000 to put another trans in. That transmission is noisy, pain in the a** to get into gear, and grinds depending on its mood. 4 years later and I am tired of the POS that's in it and want the nice original back in it.

I've always trusted transmission sound. If it doesn't whine loudly, it has oil in it. Oh, I guess I was lucky.

that clunk from the subframe is why I hate most modern FWD cars.. both our company audi's do it (a3 2l tdi). really is uncomfortable. Is it a sign of worn bushings?

(have always owned rwd cars)

I know when I get a bit of wheelspin I hear a slight clunk from it when the power shifts to the rear, not sure what clunk your on about.

But yea it's quattro, video was in the wet, no idea why they gave this car traction control..

Obviously the traction control is for those idiots who floor it when in precarious situations and wreck. Those idiots ruin it for all of us!

What, ya can't turn it off?!? (and if that's the case, there's not a fuse/somewhat simple solution?)

Depends on the car, but most even with TC off still have ESC enabled that can't be disabled. Some cars it's possible with a dash/centre console button/switch but also some cars can have both ESC and TC disabled but it requires a software tweak to fully disable it.

What a bunch of BS, and something I'd be looking into altering even prior to taking ownership. (if I had that much prior knowledge of course)
