I get the clunk too. Whenever I change gears and let the clutch quivcker than usual and sometimes when I floor it It's the diff and apparently a feature of LSD (apparently) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaulM Guests Posted 21/12/03 09:18 AM Share Posted 21/12/03 09:18 AM I had asumed it was part of the control arm suspension. Got it a lot when getting used to clutch and g'box but don't seem to get it now.Let the boss lady drive it though and my god did she make it go clunk clunk clunk. Sounds a bit like tramp rods connecting.Have had the 3,000klm service and they said nowt about it, and they must have driven it hard to average 45 klms/100klm. I had assumed it was just a down side of the new suspension. Am I wrong?Should it not happen?Do any manual owners not have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
