Hi I have a fg turbo ute with 520rwhp zf auto. I started it today and it has a hectic knock at idle. The noise seems to go away when rpm is lifted. Sounds like its coming from the sump or front of gearbox. Sounds like some one threw a heap of loose bearings in there. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Any help is much appreciated. Hoping it hasn't spun a bearing, hope it's just the flex plate or something.

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong area

loose flywheel/driveplate is a common thing on these cars, normally disappears also when in gear and loaded up a little

WHS^^

Hopefully that is all I have power cruise on 3rd of oct need it sorted by then. It's a strange one the noise goes away around 1000rpm haven't driven since I herd the noise

check flexplate.... guarntee its flogged the bolt holes out!

atomic do a lovely kit to replace this, sorry to tell you but its gunna cost you a bit to fix.. parts + labour between $900-1200

Still better then I expected lol was thinking engine or box build

Flexplate. Don't take it to Ford their qualified mechanics will tell you a rod has gone. Even specifically tell you what number.. lol

tell ford its tuned to.. they would love to help u out..

Yeah wouldn't take my car to ford or any dealer

My g6et has just started playing the same noise. Guess what I get to do tomorrow.... :'/
