I once had a knock and thought it was the exhaust but it was a loose jack. A short drive in the car with someone experienced with these cars should solve the problem. Nothing is unsolvable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of one of those. Sounds like someone is in the deepest portion of a REM cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a knock and thought it was the exhaust but it was a loose jack. A short drive in the car with someone experienced with these cars should solve the problem. Nothing is unsolvableI had to use my jack just recently when I blew my 20" $700 rear rim and tyre on a pothole , so I know the jack is in properly and the spare just fits in the donut hole so that's not moving either but hey, anything is possible I guess6k for unbreakable 4 speed? Never heard of one of those.

Also these autos are breakable, as is any transmission put into any car. The BTR4spds suffer as there is not enough clamp pressure when u get up into the high horsepower figures.

I already had that problem , it was a broken engine mount, and it got fixed, but it had no effect on the mystery clunk noiseNo, I dont think that it is the Engine mount as there is no mention of low rev vibration in drive at idle.I would start with getting the swivle type Blade Bushes checked, these tend to Clunk when worn.Put your car in nutural with the hand brake on and rock the car back and forwards to see, or car in nutural on slight hill and roll back slow and pull hand brake on and off while holding button.yep your right I have no low rev engine vibration so its not an engine mount, actually had that replaced a while ago , but ill try your advice out . thx mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
