Hi all. This is for a stock air cooled tranny likely with high KM's (nothing in PO's receipts about it). Maybe 350K + KM"s? I have to take time putting it in reverse, (I may need to bleed clutch) but otherwise tranny drives fine. With a quieter engine, I now hear a noise coming from the tranny. Likely a noise that's been happening for a while. When I gear down to 2nd at slower speeds, I hear a soft "cluck cluck cluck" etc. Not a hard noise but a soft "clucking". Pretty sure it happens in all forward gears and is relative to engine RPM's. New CV's and rebuilt clutch housing have less than 20K KM's on them. Clutch/pilot/flywheel are new. Any thoughts as to what this sound is from? (i.e. what to anticipate failing in tranny) Thanks for any insights, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson '81 JettaWesty "Jaco http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines http://web.mac.com/tubaneil http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ |
