Just wondering if this is usuall?? presuming not as you can move it about a fith of turn.. I'm guessing this s the reason behing the knocking noise when suddenly releasing the clutch or pumping the pedal at idle. im If not is this hard to fix? guessing a uni replacement?? I cant imagine it is too good for it.Took it to ford the other day and when I picked it up they didnt say sh*t all bout it other than they replaced the diff oil and added a friction modifier... whatever the f**k that will do??it is still under warranty till the end of nov so any ideas would be appreciated Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50862-noise-from-tail-shaft/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the noise you will hear from pumping the clutch pedal is the clutch and thrust bearing assembly.

But is it normal to hear it?? the noise is only when in gear ie. crwaling in 2nd and pushing the clutch in then out. just worried I bought a dodgy one. The noise can be quite loud at timescheers 4 the reply Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50862-noise-from-tail-shaft/#findComment-752523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All normal.Silly question, but why would you be pushing your clutch pedal in and out in second gear anyway?

I was only doing it (the clutch) when I noticed the noise. It also does it when in gear crawling and u stab the throttle. Im know the "backlash" is normal, just thought the noise may have suggested something.My mate has a 03 or 04 mk1 ba xr6t ute, who when I asked said he had never noticed itI'll try stop stressing now.. lolthanks for ya input Phantmxr6 and xr06t Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50862-noise-from-tail-shaft/#findComment-752705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
