Hey guys just installed my new gearbox, its making a noise on takeoff with slight clunk, every so often when i engage it and disengage clunk loudly. When mechnanic installed the gearbox he said the driverside driveshaft mounting to the gearbox had a bit of play ???
whats going on here?:????
engine is B20/B16
edit guys, i can actually move the driveshaft with my hand on the driversside i can twist it, it has bit of play is that normal>
what would be the problem>??
bumpp need answer pleasee
b series driveshaft are all the same, mechanic doesnt know shit.
Could be input shaft bearing
no its not input shaft bearing, its when the car starts rolling it makes a clear distict clicking noise i thought it was engine mount first cause the sound is clear from that area
bump need answer
i had the same issue on my itr and so does my mates itr.
its got nothing to do with gearbox or drive shafts, we figured it out that it was the front pads sliding/moving in the caliper...
I think you answered your own question,Quote:

today, mechanic said it could be my diff playing up. the guy who installed the box said there was play in the driverside driveshaft on the diff?
bumppppppppp
take it back and get it fixed Sam. Something loose/broken/ill fitted. (loose rear mount etc)
C-clip on the end of the shaft?
thing is i need a diagnosis before i spend more money removing and replacing things that isnt the problem :(. when are you free ben?
dont look at me im in Japan sorry mate :)
As fatboyz said above - the C clip on the driveshaft MIGHT not be engaged and the driveshaft is slightly popping out upon driving - but you would be losing gearbox fluid if this was the case as the fluid leaks out of the non-sealed area. Note any fluid loss.
Perhaps one or both driveshafts are not overly held - 32mm hub nuts are loose might need a tigthen - or even lugnuts arent 108nm or so tight. Check it all that you can Sam.

ohh so that explains your phone being unavailable all these times when i had engines and gearbox jobs lined up for you lol.
okay im hoping its only just that, thanks heaps dude, will go to a local mechanic to get the shafts cheked out
Pop round on Sat if you havn't got it diagnosed by then & I'll have a look.
It could be as Ben described or something dumb like an inner or outer CV being a little rooted & binding up, that can also present similar symptoms.
We're up @ Thornleigh now though.
