abeauch Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I need to clarify the noise. It sounds more like a metal click when put into drive, I'll hear it also when the trans shifts down to second or first. My 98 OBW with 166000 miles has started making a slight clunk when put into drive. No other syptoms with the trans. Shifts smooth. Could this be a cv joint, brakes?

tcspeer Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 If the rubber boots on the drive axles are still good the axles are most likely good, check and see if they are busted and the grease is gone. they wont last long without grease. Also dont forget it could be the rear drive shaft you can look at the u- joints if they are bad you should be able to see some shiny metal where it is starting to get play.

nipper Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 remember when cars had driveshafts ? well subarus still do. You have a couple of possabilities, the tranny mount or the universal joints in the driveshaft. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manarius Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm going with age on this one. The 4EAT's, when they get old and worn out, get sloppy. My car's transition into drive isn't exactly the smoothest either. I would just make absolutely sure that you're not moving when you drop the car into drive and that you don't have your foot on the gas pedal.

nipper Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Help well have you gotten under the car to investigate these things? We can give you a list all day, but we need you to investigate them and cross them off the list for us.... nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
