Hi there, iam new to the site and was wondering if anyone can help me??? I have a 2003 S2K and iam getting a strange clunking noise when i change from first into reverse then move away, same if i go from reverse to first then move off, the sound comes just as i move off, not when the gears engaged. Sounds a bit like the brake pads moving but iam not sure, anyone else had any experiences like this, any input would be helpful !!!!!!! hope its not the prop

 

I had the same problem, I forget exactly what it is, but if you have your hub nuts greased and retorqued to 220ft/lbs the clicking stops. It has something to do with the axles and hub disconnecting and reconnecting.

how many miles on the car???

 

Cheers dude, the car goes in for a service soon, so i'll get the garage to have a look at it!!!!

 

The cars only done 26k dude, barely run in

 

my M04 w/ only 19K on the odometer does the same thing. I just have not had the opportunity to retorque yet.

nuts not bolts... just tryin to not make you look dumb when you ask the service guy

 

haha, no probs, i meant nuts, always get them mixed up, cheers anyway

 

well, i had clunking noise from my suspension, checked my tie rod ends, my sway bars and it wasnt either, the guys that did my alignment didnt torque the adjustmenst for caster and camber correctly and they got loose, just had to tighten them down. but i also do get on sometimes when i shift, something in the tranny but that one doesnt bother me, probably something with the syncros or the gears popping in and slapping.
