    Clunk clunk clunk

    I have noticed when i pull up to the light with the clutch in or in neutral I can hear an clunking from the drive train , I doesn't happen when under power or down shifting .

    I spoke to the Tec at Pernell Motors and he said it’s all normal it's just the drive train catching up just don’t coast, down shift .

    Is this normal ?

    No it isn't normal and it is most likely a dragging park brake.

    I did initially think it was the park brake dragging a little but I dismissed it after talking to the Tec, I may just try to drag the park brake a little by hand as I slow down and see if it does make a difference .

    Good idea, better idea is to grab a 17mm 3/8" drive socket and ratchet, and get under the vehicle and loosen the bolt 1 turn that is at 6 O'clock on the park brake back plate. This is the adjuster for the park brake shoes.

    Report back.

    If it fixes the problem, take vehicle back and get them to perform R/2009/091 recall.

    Mine too makes a noise not so much a clunk clunk clunk but a light dunk dunk dunk if you know what I mean and it doesnt happen all the time only on occasion

    The noise the Tec might be talking about is a term i have heard called "backlash" I have that too but mainly when changing gears

    I noticed it but only after longish drives ~30 minutes without stopping. I noticed it driving from Brisbane to Mackay.

    Then again last week when coming home Cape Hillsborough and came to my first stop after ~30 min non stop driving.
