BF_Turbo Member 236 Member For: 17y 7m 24d Gender: Male Location: Central QLD Posted 18/05/07 08:36 AM Share Posted 18/05/07 08:36 AM Hey all, got a BF turbo 6spd manual and when taking off sometimes or driving really slowly like KFC drivethrough etc its clunky..you can hear it in the cab and feel it through the car. Its not when changing gears just like when u power on a little then back off in first gear, maybe like a little bit of play?? it sounds like the box is gonna drop outta the floor.Any ideas or are they all like this..

Gearbox chatter, normal they say all is ok.I also first noticed it going through KFC drivethrough.I'm currently using the standard Ford gearbox oil (by mistake), and I'm going to swap it out for Castrol Transmax Z as soon as possible, as changing gears was so much smoother when I ran it before. Also going to put in some Nulon G70 for good measure.Gearbox chatter be gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
