Hey hey!

I survived New Years at Bright - great time wa had at FatHillBilly's pad! :finger:

On the way up and back - I noticed a few new noises from the rear end...
When the clutch was engaged - there is a ting - then as you back off and hold gears its like a tic tic tic noise - yeah I know - I'm being ubertechnical here but thats what happening.

I checked the uni's - they were a little worn in the rear about 1-2mm slop between the pinion and shaft at the rear - also the pinion seal has gone as well - heaps of trcikle there too...

Anyone got some ideas? and there aren't any rocks caught in the disc protetctors either...

PS - I'm surprised how well I typed this up...all things considered!!! :D

haha, yeah mines doin that too, the whole 'ting' bit ;) i have a bit of play in my splines but i think its something to do with the diff as i blew one up and it only started doin it after i put the new one in. it could be just the tailshaft tho as ive pulled it on and off so many times its not funny. changing seals and engine/gearbox.
