I have had a bit of a search but haven't really found too much, and I am not sure whether it is really a huge problem.
But I have noticed my car (3.0rb) ping sometimes, generally when shifting out of 2nd to 3rd, sometimes I am pushing the car a bit, but nothing too much really.
Also have heard it when I give a few revs on a down shift, which could just be from 4th to 3rd slowing down from 50 or so.
I mentioned it to my mechanic and he thought it was nothing to worry about, but it just really annoys me when I hear it.
And it is not like I am redlining the car or I have 4 fat passengers, it happens when I am in the car by myself.
So is this normal? Not sure if I have provided enough info.
I have read about using the upper engine cleaner, not sure if my mechanic uses it, maybe I should try this and the additive?
Anyway, any insight is welcome!
thanks in advance
