Outer Limits 4x4 Board

tryin to track down a noise in the zook, got an idea, but not sure...

got a noise coming from underneath, kinda sounds central or just infront of me. sounds a bit like the clicking noise a pushy makes when ya stop peddling. accelerating, no noise, back off hard, not much noise. when i change gears the noise is there when i back off the accelerator, and when i back of a lil to cruise on the flat or slightly downhill, the noise is there. doesn't go for very long when i change gears, maybe 2-3 seconds.

kinda sounds like a noisy bearing spinning or something. only thing i can think of is possibly something clutch, cos i rode it hard trying to crawl the other day (crap gearing) - got seriously hot, at one stage clutch was out and tyres weren't turning much at all...

any ideas, or stuff i can do to try and narrow it down??

cheers

Bring it over tomorrow arvo and we go for a drive and see what we can find. After the weekend i rekon you will need a new clutch regardless of if the noise is related to it or not. Man that was a not a good smell standing next to ya rig. Give me a call if ya can come over.
Layto....

i'll give ya a buzz if i can come round, but don't think i'll be able to this week...




anyone else seen/heard something like this?

It could be a crook uni joint thats binding a little. They dont tend to make noise when they are heavily loaded, i.e. under accleration or full deceleration. Try greasing them all up and see if the noise goes away. If it does, the damage is already done, but it will buy you a little time till you can be bothered to fix it.

mmm noises. I got really freaked out by this rattling once. it was really loud when I bumped over stuff. turns out it was some screws and stuff in my glove box.

yeah could be tailshaft unis. check also clutch release bearing, might be making noise when running unloaded but quiets up when you put your foot on the clutch.

fixed uni the other day in rear tail shaft, got rid of one noise and the vibes.... so thinkin thrust

any way of testing this theory without dropping the clutch out?

Yeah mate, sit there and idle. Noise will be there correct?? Then depress the clutch and the noise shall go away

Did you heard my clutch the other day Steve, my relase bearing is noisey too. Seeing as ya clutch is stuffed already, why not pull it out, and when ya put new parts in replace the release bearing too. If it the clutch release the noise will change when the clutch is in or out.

Yep. Which you should really replace if you are doing a clutch anyway.

is this in a zook? they are the easiest clutch in the world, a one handed retarded monkey could do it with a swiss army knife and one of those keyring imitation shifting spanners, in 15 minutes with frequent beer stops

That makes two one handed retarded monkeys to do the clutch then. When ya get round to doing it Steve, let me know and i give ya a hand. Can get some prices for ya too if ya let me know.
