Hey guys.. So the Title says it all pretty much... When I let the clutch out in my sierra it makes a clunkk noise as it ingages.. Dad reckons it's the rear diff? The rear bush thingos were worn out so we replaced those last Friday It helped a bit but didn't fix the problem... What do you guys reckon?

Check your transfer mounts

[brendan]

ive got the same problem. To me its just the slack in the drivetrain

[tanshi]

I had a similar problem.

Found that my jackshaft unis had almost self distructed.

[Reubs]

IMO, definitely wouldn't be the rear control arm bushes. Watch you gear and transfer levers - do they move at the same time as 'clunk'?

As people have indicated, get under your car with 4x4 engaged and check for play in jackshaft, and both tailshafts, and inspect uni joints and mounts.

[jonga]

mine does exactly the same thing, and miens a coily too, replaced the tailshafts and it didnt help..

[Rusho]

noises we have to deal with...did you get your license??? bring it out to the BBQ on sunday, more than enough people there to diagnose your problem

[Myles]

Yeah goin for the test at 11:10 tomorrow in the zuk.. Wish me luck! Lol

Yeah I havnt seen it but dad said it looks like there's allot of movement in the rear diffs.. But yeah.. Still planning on coming on Sunday so yeah that'd be good if some ppl could have a look

[Saam]

transfer chain... maybe, i can test it for you easy if your coming sunday (nothing stupid involved)

[zukmeista]

My 89 wt leafy makes this noise as well...

[zukmeista]

Bump...

[Shaggy]

My 94 does the same thing, does it when i let the clutch out or on/off the gas (not that it has much) As Brendan said I am just assuming slack in the drive train. At this stage it isn't a loud enough noise to warrant investigating. I put it down the the fact it is a 15 year old 4wd and is bound to have wear in every bit of every part of the whole car.
My initial thoughts are a uni joint somewhere as i remember my 1st Holden Kingswood (Ah those were the days 3.3L 3 Speed Auto, would only spin the wheels on a wet,oily road) Had the same noise almost down to a tee. I replaced both tailshaft uni joints and once again all was well.
Cheers
Jason.

Grrrrr Its Friggen annoying.. the whole car jolts sometimes lol in traffic it looks like im bieng really rough with the clutch but its not meeeee

[Saam]

engine mounts, gearbox mount, all three transfer mounts okay ?

sometimes it's just how they are, i mean they drive like a little truck, especially when your in your first year of driving they can be a handfull.

i'm not saying it's not there, just a consideration.

[Myles]

Engine mounts are good, Dunno bout the gearbox mount, transfer mounts im not sure about either..

I did my 100Hours of leaner driving in a 262kw Subaru WRX with semi slick racing tyres and tonnes of other Mods before I got my P's.. so yeah the zuk does feel abit like a truck Im not complaining though, I love it Its allot more challenging to drive then the scooby lol

[appsie]

did you end up checking the jackshaft uni as someone mentioned at the start??

just asking this as a mates 1 litre was clunking badly for ages then the other day he finally got under there and the uni was so shagged,it was almost chewed right through the yoke and about to break off.

Rip up the carpet in my zook and you would see a split floor from driver footwell to passenger footwell from aprevious owner having the uni let go and the shaft go through the floor nearly.

My car makes a little noise which i just put down to the backlash in drivetrain etc?

[Brocbeau]

I need to drain diff oil am i better of driving it for a while to think the oil out or denst it matter??? just curiousss cheers boys

[Rusho]

drive then drain

[Brocbeau]

cheers rusho xD
