Paul372 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, I ve got aloud clonking noise coming from the rear of the supe. i think it maybe the diff so i done a oil change on it today and found loads of bits of metal teeth in the oil and stuck to the plug about 8 to 10 pieces in total along with metal filings and the oil was really metallic looking do you think this is the cause, the diff as had it. it only clonks at low speeds like pulling away and reversing but it is really bad, but when you build up speed its ok does it look like i need a new diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul372 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 its not a lsd i think its the smaller diff with the fins on, i would say about 1 and a half litres came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_supra Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 oil sounds about right not 100% as not got autodata on this laptop but is enough oil to stop the diff getting damaged. but symptons match a ford cougar i replaced the diff on the other day. that was only clonking in reverse and pulling away. be worth opening it up and checking the spider gears inside for missing teeth.
