SupraKid Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi I went and saw a Manual Uk Supra Twin Turbo today, just have a few questions. When driving off from stand still, theres a slight clicking noise coming from the rear. what could this be? Anything major? Also the gears seemed to engage fine, but when going into 3 there was a very very faint crunch noise, can hardly be heard but its there. Is the gearbox on the way out? Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 had a similar thing with the gears. just got some decent oil put in and that went away. no sure on the clicking on driving away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 clicking could be something as easy as brake pad movement, stone in tyre?. The supra 6spd box is renouned for being a bit clunkey. The gearbox's are strong as anything and rarely give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yeah you can get the odd creak from your rear end when pulling away slowley sometimes.. ohh that didnt come out well........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraKid Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 it was in billericay in essex, Im in Ilford. There was a nail in the rear right tyre, and it does seem the noise came from there, i was just a bit weary cos it could be costly to fix! The Gearbox did have an overhaul not many miles ago, and the engine rebuild about 2 years ago. There are a few service stamps missing only had 2 services from 2004-2006. But the seller says he's kept the oil topped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
