XR6T_someday Member 29 Member For: 22y 5m 26d Posted 24/01/03 02:41 AM Share Posted 24/01/03 02:41 AM Has anyone else got a clucking noise from the Diff? I had the same problem in the AU3 XR6 Manual and I had it replaced. But the problem started about 3 weeks later. I have taken the XR6T back to the dealer and he said it is a whiplash noise and it is designed to do that. I don't remember it doing it when I picked it up. If I sit on 100 in 5th gear and take my foot off the accelerator and back on their is a clunk. Expensive Daewoo have the same problem and they have bough out an Anti-Chatter Kit. But from what I have heard the noise comes back after a short while. Has anyone Else Got This Problem?

There is one hill near home that when going down on cruise causes the shunt to be felt as the power comes on/off to maintain speed. l actually had trouble driving the car smoothly through the gears for the first few weeks because of it but have learnt to compensate for it now.Take it to Ford and get them to check everythings in spec and let us know how you get on. l plan on doing the same next week and will let you know what they find.

Cant imagine how much slop will be in the driveline after 50000km.l hope Ford release a fix for it.

Guest FORD Guests Posted 24/01/03 03:33 PM Share Posted 24/01/03 03:33 PM I recently read an article on a XR6 TURBO road test which autospeed done and they reported in it that they also had a loud clunking noise from the diff. Hopefully Ford will fix this quick! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/722-xr6t-diff/#findComment-7574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR_Strider_GuY Guests Posted 27/01/03 08:36 AM Share Posted 27/01/03 08:36 AM Interesting that the driveline diff clunks and shaft whirring are still existent in the XR6-T's. I agree it is annoying but I've decided to leave mine alone as I bought my XR6 with 17k on the clock and now have put 14k. Seems the noise doesn't get any worse and doesn't seem to hinder performance. Now that I know that every man and his dogs manual XR6 from AU onwards has the noises I'm not too worried. :D :D Just for reference my diff isn't LSD and it still makes those cluncks. So I don't think those chatter kits would help.But yeah when I first got the car the noises was uninspiring especially comming from a manual EF Wagon that had zero driveline noise. I would of thought the 2 piece tailshaft would of solved most of the noises.
