On acceleration from a stop, there is a rotational noise/groan. 5-10 mph light pedal on take off. You hear it and you can feel it in the floorboard in the front. It’s hard to describe the noise. Sounds like a old metal spring squeaking noise but it rotational means as your taking off it comes and goes as the wheels are rotating
.
Jacked it up. No noise. Started it up and put it in gear while jacked up...no noise.
Drive it around there is noise, but not every time. Only does it while on the ground, weight on the wheels.

Dealer had it today, of course they don’t know what it is, can’t duplicate and can only hear the turbo spool valve???

Ideas? What thinking it’s a wheel bearing or a drive shaft.

After two dealers. The 1st said it’s normal. The 2nd did a transmission reprogram. Didn’t fix. The tech drove it home, they think they got it this time. They replacing the clutch pack.

So the wait continues.
