eddie27 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Been following the knock thread started by Joe Flanagan hoping to get an answer to my own knock issue that just started a few weeks ago. The difference in my knock is it get dramatically better (but not completely gone) when I hold the clutch in. It sounds more like something is loose than an actual knock. The thing about noise is that it is very pronounced when the car is first started and if I let it stall out (before it is warmed up) the last few turns of the motor before stopping it get very "clunky." If rev the engine up it seems to go away. Quote
Bobandy Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Just based on the sound easing up a bit when you push the clutch in, I suspect something in that area. I would remove the lower bell housing cover (inspection plate) and give everything a close inspection. Check things like Pressure plate secured tightly to the fly wheel, fly wheel secured tightly to the crank, etc... sounds like something loose in this area... Bob Quote
Solution eddie27 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Solution Report Posted October 25, 2014 OK guys... I found the source of my noise. Attached is photo of the bolts that are loose. Problem is I think there are nuts on the other side of these bolts because they won't tighten. Any way to get in there without dropping the tranny, clutch, etc? Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 Others may have the same problem. Would be nice if you explain a bit further on how it was fixed. 2 Quote
