How to get rid of the gritty sound to the engine?

[luciddaydream]

I am not really sure how to describe this, but, the engine / transmission seems l ike it has a bit of grit sound to it... a bit... sandy..

Kind of very slight ticks, whirls, rattles..

I am sure the car is fine... its always had this.. I dont really view it as anything wrong with the car..

But any way to fix this? Does flushing the transmission fluid help?

Sorry its a bit of a bad question -- I am not the brightest guy with cars.
Thanks a lot..

Don’t think so, that’s just what this transmission sounds like.

do you hear it just around 1-2k rpm and then it goes away as you accelerate? or does it sound gritty at higher revs?

I replaced the oil after the 1,000 miles mark in both the engine and trans, and put Archoil 9100 in both of them as well. They are now noticeably quieter. There's still some mechanical noise, but unless you want to completely sound- insulate the interior, you're going to always have some amount. That's generally the nature of a sports car.
