Unpleasant Gear Box Noise


Recommended Posts

Hello chaps, my brumby/brat ute has just developed an alarming noise from the gear box ? area.. It goes clunk clunk clunk in time with the speed i am travelling. engaging the clutch, or putting it in neutral and coasting stops the clunking. As i type this i am thinking it may be a universal joint:confused: a happy easter to all.N

What does it do with engine brakeing vs acceleration?

 

I had the pinion bearings fail in a 4WD wagon - If you let it coast or engine brake it made horrific noises. I Drove it home by always keeping a little gas to it while stopping. Took it apart, the pinion was moving forward into the differential carrier but while under acceleration or up hill, the forces held the pinion back, so it ran ok. There were chunks of metal carved off of the carrier in the bottom of the case.:eek:
