dazla100 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I noticed last night that when pulling away in first gear from a stand still in my jz manual i can hear a few clunks come from some where. It doesn't do it in any other gear apart from 1st and it does not do it all the time has anyone else experienced this could it be the diff or possibly the transmission on the way out?..

Fitz Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 What box do you have? R154? W58? V160? V161? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla100 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 What box do you have? R154? W58? V160? V161? to be honest I'm not sure how would I find that out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 to be honest I'm not sure how would I find that out? Would be on your VIN plate under the bonnet on the drivers side wing. There will be a 'Trans/Axle' part then a description of what gearbox/diff you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris88 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 to be honest I'm not sure how would I find that out? 5 speed shifts like it should have been installed in a JCB = R154 5 speed shifts like it deserves to be in a Lexus = W58 6 speed = V160/V161 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasional clunks whilst maneuvering at slow speeds - pulling away, reversing, 3 point turns, etc. - are often caused by loose subframe or suspension bolts, I'd get the car in the air and torque all the bolts up, also check the suspension components for wear. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/content.php?51-Repair-Manuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger NE Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) When you say "clunks" . . . is it just ONE clunk each time you pull away? Or a series of clunks? The W58 is your GEARBOX . . . there are several other components in the Transmission system, including the Clutch and its various components, Prop Shaft including its U/Js and the centre bearing, the differential and drive shafts. ANY of these if worn or faulty can cause clunks as you pull away . . . as well as anything loose or worn in the suspension and steering components. So Step 1 is trying to suss out exactly where the noise is coming from . . . although that can be difficult! If it's the gearbox itself, it should seem to come from just forward of the gearstick.

There's about 3 clunks in total but it don't do it every time I wil try have a lisen to find out the location of it but to me it sounds like it's coming from the back end of the car thank you for your feedback it's much appreciated.

Guest Roger NE Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Well then, if I had to have a wager, I would guess it's your propshaft . . . I actually had a banging noise like you describe on mine a while ago . . . rather than mess about finding exactly what was wrong (probably the centre bearing), I just fitted a complete propshaft from a scrap car. (cost me £30!) But you obviously need to investigate what's wrong. What you really need is a friendly garage who will put the car on a ramp and have a look for you ! (SO much easier than trying to suss it out by jacking up and crawling underneath) Get them to suss out the problem and QUOTE for repair . . . then do the job yourself ! (for example, it's VERY easy replacing a complete propshaft) Edited May 5, 2014 by Roger NE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger NE Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Hmmm, ethics gone on a holiday, have they? I don't see ANYTHING wrong with that ! Surely with ANY job you want doing (on your car, house, central heating, fridge, etc) you would expect to ask someone what is wrong and what THEY would charge to fix it . . . anyone in business would surely be prepared to do that? However, I would have thought that most people would get the actual repair done somewhere else if it was cheaper (let alone decide to do it yourself) So Chris, if a Repair Man 1 said your Washing Machine needed the Drum Bearings replaced, and he would charge £100 to replace them . . . and then Repair Man 2 said he could do it for £50, would you still use Repair Man 1?
