This just started happening yesterday..

http://home.comcast.net/~cpkver8/PICT0002.MOV

You can hear the bang as soon as I accelerate.. happens almost consistantly when downshifting mostly to Third without having rev-matched..

Any ideas ? Its a loud bang,bam,slam,wham or whatever.. you feel it hard in the car..Gearbox internals failing?

It isn't Popping Out of gear.. it makes that noise but still then operates normally. No slippage in the clutch.

It won't do it (in reverse) twice ina row.. If I back up,stop then reverse again it doesn't do that.

If I drive a little then the next time it will do it again..


Doesn't seem to happen when cruising on the highway and downshifting from 6th to 5th and I never like going down into fourth without rev-matching but when slowing down and then going fourth to third If I coast at all then acceperate it slams ..

recent? not since I got the link.

I sent him an email an was going to call but an issue arose regarding my property and an abutters plan to develop land so i had to deal with a Town hearing and other work stuff

I emailed him and hoped I'd get some of hsi responses in writing so I can just have all the deatils for reference.

Of all the immediately available 540/6 within easy reach his appears nicest. I now have this new noise though and am not sure of making it to CT. Might want to get it looked at to see whether my driveshaft is about to fall off or what before comitting to venturing down to see it.

Hmm.... not what I expected to read about when I clicked this thread! :P

Too much 4chan, I think.
