Guest MikeSupra Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hey peeps! Fairly new to the Supra scene. Bought a manual NA end of January and I've spent the last month giving it a full strip-down and service. Insured it from Monday and have gone through 2 tanks of fuel already! I absolutely love it! However, I've noticed a loud clunking noise accompanied by the car jumping everytime I accelerate hard. It does it in all gears so I thought it was just oil on the clutch or something but it's still doing it 3 days on. I took the rear wheels off today and checked the brakes and bearings, no movement. The bushes are kinda screwed front and back but I'm dreading it being the diff. It has 275 tyres on the back so if the previous owner had been a bit tail happy could this eat the diff? I'm not sure how strong these diff's are but i'm hoping someone has one for sale! Many thanks Mike (Somerset) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I thought that when I diff goes it locks the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MikeSupra Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 LOL well it hasnt exploded yet, but i think its about to! Did your diff make any noise before it went or just go bang all of a sudden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I blew my diff last year (see pic in my garage) and it made a bang and felt like I'd run over a brick everytime I tried to do a low speed turn. Only lasted 2 days before losing all drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Is it when you accelerate from over-run or does it still do it from when you accelerate from being part on the gas??? I'm thinking dual mass flywheel but does the NA have one?? If not propshaft/couplings/driveshafts etc??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MikeSupra Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Is it when you accelerate from over-run or does it still do it from when you accelerate from being part on the gas??? I'm thinking dual mass flywheel but does the NA have one?? If not propshaft/couplings/driveshafts etc??? Err, it does it pretty much in both instances you mensioned. One of my mechanic friends said about dual mass flywheel, but like you, im not sure if it has one! I've checked the prop and movement of the shafts etc. doesn't seem to be any unusual movement. Could it be something as simple as a wheel bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
