Member 6 Member For: 19y 2m 15d Posted 15/12/05 12:05 PM Share Posted 15/12/05 12:05 PM Took my T for a few test runs after a bit of fine tuning, 276 rwkw. pulling nice and strong through all gears for about five mins. Got back to the workshop to put a bit more timing in it. As soon as pulled in, the thing sounded as if a rock band was under the car. clutch in or out massive amount of rattling. but still perfect gear selection and drivability(straight onto the hoist).good possibility its an input shaft bearing. has a daikin exedy clutch so I doubt its that. box is comin out tomora morn. so will know for sure then. seems like to little power to kill a box. unless it was too much vibration(typical ford harmonics).

Sounds like possibly a collapsed clutch hub, or broken or loose flywheel or PP bolts. Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.E.Z. Member 6 Member For: 19y 2m 15d Posted 16/12/05 01:19 PM Author Share Posted 16/12/05 01:19 PM oh yeah, already had a clutch collapse. went to daiken exedy and no probs as yet. It seems a bit strange to stretch 11.9's at only 276 rwkw. but that's just like ford to engineer everything on the xr6t to the near limit. dont you think?
