I have a bf mark 2 xr6 t with 320rwkw and a heavy duty clutch, when I disengage first the drive train clunks sometimes especially if I don't time it right and it is deaccelerating or accelerating still. Really annoying in car parks.

Car has 190,000 with me new diff bushes and bushes in the rear end.

Any ideas where to look? It got better when I did the bushes but it seems like the super heavy pressure plate just disconnects the clutch off too fast or something or there is slack in the drive train

It has king/pedders springs unsure which one but cheapies that are about 1" lowered, it does camber wear on the inside of the tyres though. How difficult is changing the CVs ?

Driveline backlash is shocking in these cars

Happy motoring lol

Half shafts are easy enough but don't be surprised if it only cleans it up a touch

Lol........now where is stripes...

Yes they are, the t56 is very hardy, so is the m86 rear although can have quite a bit of lash from the factory. The custard bushes, half shafts, diff hat(more so the single bush mounting than the actual hat) and to a degree the entire rear end design. Are sh*t. These cars don't break boxes(manuals anyway) and diff's. They munch bushes and twist drive shafts in half. Which would you rather deal with.

Solid mount that sh*t and thrash it. Fark nvh. Shafts shouldn't bother you at your power level.

My ears are burning haha.

Yeah, you either put up with a bit of noise, or buy another car...

Choose the right bushes and that'll help minimise NVH, but it's still a sh*t design overall unfortunately.

It feels almost like when you pull a car out of gear without using the clutch, is this the same thing you guys are describing ?

Also whilst on the drive train topic my 2nd gear syncro sucks balls when cold, what are they like when new, smooth or still feel like a heavy truck box?

Still heavy really and stripes had huge problems with 2nd gear in a new GT. Apparently they need to be babied when new for a bit or they can be hurt forever.

Didn't you have issues with your clutch when it was put in? Not fully disengaging or something? Cause that's what it sounds like and I know that sound you are talking about when you pull it out without the clutch. Not the clunking we are on about. Not that severe. Engagement issue me thinks?
