|
|
The other day I noticed a clunking sound coming from the rear of the car. After determining the whereabouts of the kids and dog, I continued out of the driveway. It was then I noticed that the brake warning light on the consul was on. At first I thought it might be a dislodged e-brake shoe but taking the rotors off ruled that out. The e-brake also appears to be working properly.
The sound comes and goes with speed, coasting, and in neutral.
Here's a video of my turning the half-axle. The car is in neutral (manual transmission).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. (And, yes, I know it sounds like 'Chain Gang'...)

If the sound is coming from inside the transmission, you have either a broken ring and pinion or broken differential, best guess. _________________ Kevin

Thank you, Kevin. Can you believe that it is so hard in this case to actually figure that out?! _________________ World's worst welder. |

I've decided that I am going to remove the transmission and redo the torque tube and clutch over the winter. This $hould $olve the mystery! _________________ World's worst welder. |

Well, if you don't fiddle with transmissions all the time, yeah, it could take a little figuring! Let me know if you need help with the transmission. Cheers, _________________ Kevin
