Flemo23 Member 12 Member For: 11y 5m 11d Gender: Male Posted 25/08/13 06:45 AM Share Posted 25/08/13 06:45 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
