... sounds painful I know!

Need some thoughts as to whether the following is normal or not. Only noticed it since my MY99's running in period ended.

When accelerating hard from a standstill in 1st, I quickly change to 2nd, let out the clutch (quite quickly) and there is a loud Clonk from the rear of the car.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

Think you'll find we all experience this during hard driving..it is the drivetrain taking up the strain.

don't boot it so much

I have to admit to a small amount of advertising as we also manufacture the POWERFLEX bushes.

But the problem is the movement in the rear beam assembly. Caused by poorly designed beam mounting bushes.
