Guest 540Si Report post Posted November 11, 2007 Hi guys Just this morning I've developed a problem with the 540. Dropping from 3rd to 2nd I had a huge "clunk" which continued while in gear - clunk clunk ... etc Limped off to the side then tried again - same thing , any gear except reverse Still have power just this noise and a bit of shudder to go with it. What do you reckon? - clutch, diff - hopefully not the gearbox I'm driving a 540 with 6 speed manual box and an LSD from a 750 Thanks Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 540Si Report post Posted November 11, 2007 guibo/flex disc/centre bearing Thanks Paul That's looking likely. Am going to limp round the corner shortly and get them to throw it on the hoist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 540Si Report post Posted November 11, 2007 Nope. Looks like the diff Might be in the market for a replacement, at least a rebuild Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was just looking thru your TM listings to see what you had left out of those v8's. Believe mine has a large case 3:25 now - am waiting on the full diagnosis this afternoon then will probably get back to you. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
