Noise (Intermittent and Worrying)

Post by **990** » 06 Apr 2006 01:08 pm

Help,

During low speed start stop my 360 is on almost stall (I am thinking clutch badly adjusted or on way out)

but...

after this when I set off I am getting a massive banging noise from the rear

- is the prop shaft on its last legs here, something worse or is it an easy fix?

It might be propshaft. There are two holders in transmission which holds propshaft and they might be loose.

This kind of..

Check them first...

Right, thats the same with the 360 then as it has the torque tube as well?

That picture is from 360 transmission

but yes, propshaft-type is torquetube.

Nice a quick reply - also forgot only happens when i 1st gear and starting from standstill - and it does not happen everytime.

A long weekend under the car coming up I guess

If i were you, i`d check prop shaft in both ends (from transmission and engine), gearchange-system (whats the word?!?), and clutch also.
Check that nothing isnt loose and if its loose then tight it

...It also might help if i know better words in english

Really - I think your English is fine

Yep looks like a front to back job - but the forecast for this weekend is snow and rain

don't bother about the front, 360s don't have a clamp on the front end of the torque tube, it goes directly into the clutch plate.

On the back end of the torque tube, you might have to remove the cover plate to see it, there's two small rubber bungs and these cover up the holes, if you remove the rubber covers you'll be able to check the clamps.

You know that sounds sort of straight forward - I hope it is as easy as it sounds
