Tas dvl New Member 14 Member For: 7y 4m 6d Posted 18/12/16 01:07 PM Share Posted 18/12/16 01:07 PM Tell me am I stupid or not the thing drives so well and looks straight but only thing I noticed was in traffic the gearbox clunked very slightly when baking off? Any advice? Still under warranty, I haven't picked it up yet should I buy the extended factory warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check the tailshaft centre bearing, first, then check the diff bush to make sure it's not stuffed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust them to fix it, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try shifting manually and see if it all feels tight. I ended up getting my transmission tuned (mostly) for the sole reason as to get rid of this "feature" Take him for a drive and show him your concern. Get him to note it on the sale docket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
