As stated, got a clonking sounds when turning sharp, worse in reverse, I have checked front CV's and they are fine, the sound does appear to be coming from the gearbox? Anyone come across this?

 

I have a milder form of what you have I think. Suggestions on here were the centre diff. I'm going to have a look at mine in the new year. Sounds expensive. Mine kinda skips on full lock in reverse like you rolled over a big pebble. If mines not too bad I'll be tempted to leave it until it gets really bad.

yeah defo center diff!! api will do you a recon exchange box for 650 + vat!! thats a proper good deal as i was looking at boxes today as mine is haggered and a second hand one not re con with ?????? miles on it was going for 400 + vat!! so i know which one im going for

 

plus dude it gets really bad really quickly!!!

 

i have a 1997 uk spec rear diff for sale if any one is interested? done 50,000 miles. pm me if interested

 

Hmm actually mine has been doing this for quite a while (2+ yrs). If I get a week off before the summer I'll pull it a part and probably drop in a new clutch too. Car is MY99 with 130,000 miles.

Happy Christams and thanks for info, easy enough to swap centre diff with box still in car, I may do that first........cheers.......Andy
