You need a donor vehicle? I will kindly volunteer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be appreciated if all people who dont have the clunk or shunt vote, as this will show that this problem is not normal.... Hope all members vote and not just the ones who have it.... It would give a better indication of the extent of the problem... you can find the poll in ford discussion under driveline shunt... and yes it is the bloody clunk your talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can one of the mods do this?Who wants my $10?? l would like to see the work done in Brisbane by Ben (WBT56) who is a very knowledgable and regular contributor to this site. What do others reckon?

What do others reckon? yeah I know... I ed it up.... but at least we can vote and get an indication... is no good voting if we dont get a good crosssection of voters though... normally only those who suffer from the problem vote... hopefully we can encourage all to do so in this case.... I went to add a reply in myself and realised I stuffed it... accidentally clicked in that bloody poll only no replies box thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Elvis Brown Guests Posted 06/04/04 08:18 AM Share Posted 06/04/04 08:18 AM Hi all, We’re currently awaiting delivery of our XR6T, but based on everything I’ve been reading here I thought I’d give the dealer a call about some of the potential problems outlined with in the forum. One topics was “backlash clunk”, after conferring with one of his tech guys he advised that backlash clunk was an artifact of the fuel injection system manifested in the drive shaft, rather than a problem with the diff. He suggested that because of the way the fuel system works the injectors will sometimes “cut out” (?) when backing off the accelerator suddenly or accelerating sharply. I’ve no idea if it’s true, but he listed out a couple of other earlier fords that had the same problem, although according to him it’s a characteristic rather than a problem. He then went on to explain that as a result replacing the diff wouldn’t have any impact on it. It’s worth noting though that the “symptom” he described wasn’t a whine or such coming from the diff but rather a rapid “clunk” from the rear of the drive shaft. He also indicated that backlash clunk should only be noticeable on a manual and that if I were concerned perhaps an auto would be the go…….

Welcome EB Mate I think you are being told porky pies, which is actually stipulated on page 33 of the Ford service managers customer service manual. Point 2C stipulates "Baffle them with Bullsh*t"I am now on my third diff and can clarify that the clunking along with the wineing definately comes from the Diff. No clunking on the first, major clunking on the second, some clunking on the third.Diff noise as per other threads on the forum, but the diffs that have replaced my original one, are worse with noise in different speeds for each diff (if that makes sense). And there are others here that are in the same boat with the same feedback, so be prepared to let your dealer know you are not going to take any crap! It took me a few goes to realise that! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
