Slight Clunk from the rear when changing Gear especially to 3rd????
 

Have Noticed this just recently. Not sure when the diff oil was changed last so will be doing that asap.
It seems to happen when on the flat if I let the clutch go a touch moe than gently- not uphill when under load - never did it before but defo does not sound right (can feel over hear).
Any ideas??
MY 95 wrx:wonder:

Could this be the diff bushes??

Do you get any clunking when doing low speed manouvers?
You will get some transmission noise, use to clunk on my MY00 and that was new :lol1: its only if it really starts to whine that you should start to be very worried, that normally means they are shafted :(

Tony:)

There is no whining or other transmission noise just this clunk feeling when letting the clutch out.
I think I'll repalce the bushes anyhow - was also given anadvisory of slight play on the rear rool bar at MOT so guess Id better do the droplinks too??

Anyone got any other Ideas before I start shelling out??

gearbox syncores mate, i had the same problem on my civic. when under hard accelration and then u change gear u get a crucnh. If it id then defo a syncore.

U are best to chnage your gearbox oil as it will make your gearbox last longer, or it will get worse. And keep of the hard gas mate :)

Just read about Valvoline synpower 75w-90 - it seems this could help - at least short term?
cant find thread on changing box oil ( I know it fills through the dip hole) but wheres the plug and how much oil in a 95 classic?

You've got a pm and email

iv got the same problem with mine ... crunching in 3rd

Problem now seems to have gone since driving daily and replacing the gear and Diff oil! pass on the cause other than shes getting on a bit!
