hey guys
almost everytime I downshift, I always hear this humming noise until i completely stop. But when I just brake, it's fine. It only happens when I downshift. Don't know what the problem is. Just wondering if this happened to anyone else or if anyone has any idea what it could be...thanks!! :D

NO I posted it! and what if she did! hey OCEVOGIRL lets jump him!!!!! J/k
I had the same problem it might just be normal sounds from the drivetrain. Someone on this forum suggested to me to try and match rev when I downshift. You might need to practice at it. I know I did and I've almost gotten the hang of it. Unnecessary downshifting also puts strain on the transmisssion, transfer case and driveshaft. AWD=thousands of moving parts which = something has to give at one point or another!!!

Is it while you are releasing the clutch?
If so, it could be the throwout bearing. I have the same problem.

ocevogirl just incase you don't know what rev matching is, it is right while you are downshifting from one gear to another you give it a little gas so your rpms rise. you'll get the hang of it. :wink: :D
