Since I got the sprinter on the road a couple months ago there has been fluttering at certain speed and RPM... only at low rpm on take off and in gear decel around the same speed and rpm.
I know when I put the car up on a hoist to have a look underneath there was a bit of play in the driveshaft and the distinctive light clinking sound. There is also times when taking off you will hear a single metalic "ching" sound.
On the way home from work tonight I started to experience some real bad metalic clanking..... to the point where I though there was like a couple of old saucepans tied to the bottom of car. Yes... that bad! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif
I know its hard to give a diagnosis over the net without seeing and hearing it in person.... but is it time to find a T series rearend just so I can get a custom tailshaft with replaceable uni's made up?
Any help appreciated....
Speedy.
BTW: Work is only 3.5 km's if your wondering why I have neglected it for so long and I'm finishing off the G/F's car's mods before starting up on the sprinter.
