After autocrossing at Hollywood Park, which has a very rough terrain, I noticed my car would make clinking noises under deceleration and my shifter would shake violently if it was left in gear. The higher the speed I decelerate from, the more violently the shifter would shake and the more rapid the noise would occur. It sounds like the clinking noise is coming from the driver's front side, but I am not totally sure. I just know its coming from the front end of the car.

I've checked the suspension and shifter linkage and have not seen any apparent damage. I thought it was my lsd, but found out that it was not after I jacked up my car and rotated one wheel to see if the other wheel rotated in the other direction. I'm hoping its nothing too serious.

 

what kind of car and what have you done to it, other than turbo?

 

GSR w/Turbo? LSD? AutoX? If it tends to do it more while turning, get some new axles w/ beefier CV's soon or you'll be stranded at an event. Don't ask how I know.

It's a 2000 Integra GSR with a greddy turbo kit, suspension, lightened flywheel, clutch, and lsd on Azenis. And it doesn't do it more when its turning.

I cant help you, but I want to say, I know your pain. I sometimes I hate racing there! Its like off roading!

 

Andrew, this is Tetsu from auto-x.
u might want to check your motor/tranny mounts.
kinda sounds like same prob. i had at about 100,000 miles.
if bad, replace them with mugen or type-r mounts. i used typr-r w/ engery inserts. might as well upgrade while ur at it!

FS: brand new cusco rs diff. for b-series. $750
