Phoon Hoon Member 156 Member For: 20y 14d Posted 04/01/06 05:24 AM Share Posted 04/01/06 05:24 AM Hi allI know this topic has been done to death, but I am looking to test drive a new Phoon in the next few days and I hope I can get some help with the infamous Falcon driveline shunt.I have never driven a manual Falcon of any description (have owned autos all my Ford life) and want to listen/feel for the driveline shunt I've read so much about here and elsewhere.Some questions relating to when I'm most likely to feel it...1. Is it prevalent in the new BF Typhoon (manual)?2. What exactly should I expect to hear/feel?3. When is it most likely to occur? Down-gearing? Up-shifting? Slowing down?4. Is it only found in the manual?5. How bad is it really? Enough to turn you off the car?Thanks for your input.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

The car will bunny hop and clunk. you can also get ti by putting the clutch in/out in 1st going slowly and you will hear a clunk each time.
