loud 'clunk'

[Goggs182]

Anyone any idea what this could be?
My 182 is otherwise faultless but when I come off the throttle in first, second and sometimes third, there's a loud clunk and it feels like something's shifting forward.
I've no idea myself, but it sounds pretty major. Any help appreciated

Gearbox dogbone mount maybe?

I'd say it's the mount too. Mine does it. Need to ge t it sorted really

That's great cheers, ill look into it

Just to jump on this.
Mine is doing the same, sometimes when I'm turning at low speed aswell.
I do have a polybushed dogbone mount but it was already on when I bought the car so not sure of age.
Could it be?

Top mount maybe?

 

[lee M4RSH]

Hmmm. Ktec solid topmounts.
Can feel the knock under my feet though?

Springs all good?

 

[lee M4RSH]

I believe so, have had it up on a ramp and no obvious signs of a cracked spring.
Will have to get it up again and see what's going on I think.

It's hard to guess really. Let me know if you find anything

 

[leeds2592]

I get this with mine. If I put my foot down in 1st, 2nd or 3rd, get the revs right up, then take my foot off the accelerator, it get a massive knock/clunk sound.

Sounds like it's coming from the LHS of me when driving.

 

[lee M4RSH]

yeah, that's the one. I will get it on the ramp and have a look.
have checked quite a lot of things and its not anything obvious falling off. Is more annoying than worrying.

Yeh, as you say, I'm not too worried about it but it can be quite annoying.

Let me know if you find anything. From looking at old threads on here most replies seem to point to engine or gearbox mounts.

 

[lee M4RSH]

Will do mate.

The bracket the goes from the gearbox to dogbone bush, check the two bolts that hold the bracket to the box. I had a similar knock that would only happen when backing off at higher revs. Very annoying !!
