DontHateItsAn88 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Gotta bad knocking. Has plenty of power in 1-3 but 4th and 5th are boggy and wont let the rpms build. The motor will die if you let off the gas. Feels like it coming though my tranny. Throw out bearing? idk. The oil pressure and temp gauges were reading normal and the trans was shifting smooth. Just wondering if anyone good tell me some diff things to check. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit1 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 knock under load or when you let off of it or at idle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontHateItsAn88 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 It knocks going down the road. But when the clutch is down it stops but when you lock it in gear and let out on the clutch it knocks bad. I barley got it home the other night.

Indiana Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sounds like a loose flywheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontHateItsAn88 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sounds like a loose flywheel.Thats what i was thinking. Either flywheel or throw out bearing. I hope its that and not something internaly in my motor. But the knocking goes with the vibration in my shifter and clutch pedal so thats a good sighn.

The Rabbit1 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 so it doesn't do it in neutral.. knocks hard like a rod? loose flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontHateItsAn88 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 so it doesn't do it in neutral.. knocks hard like a rod? loose flywheel?Im going to check the flywheel. Would it cause it to lose power and die going down the road? If it was a rod or bearing idt it would caz it to die just knock like a mofo. But the a throw out bearing or flywheel would, i do belive. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit1 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 out of all of those listed only the rod knock causes a change in power. and that's after driving it like that for a loong time. unless the knock sensor is picking it up somehow..? You sure the knock isn't an exhaust leak "tick"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure the knock isn't an exhaust leak "tick"?I just fixed my manifold and exhaust so no. lol its deff a knock. and it just happened all of a sudden. i was in 3rd going up a big hill then at the top i put it in 4th and the car died. then when i pulled over and started it back up it was knocking. It died like 6 times on the way home. I was only a few miles from my house when it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit1 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 does it still die? does it knock in neutral with the clutch out? does the knocking change if you rev it? you can check the flywheel if you leave it in gear and turn crank side to side a bit and crank moves before clutch assembly does.

But the higher the rpm ,the worse the knock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Broken gear in the transmission will do that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Does it have oil pressure when at operating temp? Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ii'm leaning towards flywheel or maybe even broken spring in clutch disc how old is the clutch and have you actually changed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 There's the possibility of an ate up thrust bearing. What do you know about that engine? You been able to pry on the flywheel yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 There's the possibility of an ate up thrust bearing. What do you know about that engine? You been able to pry on the flywheel yet?was what i started thinking, if one question was answered it would help so it doesn't do it in neutral.. knocks hard like a rod? loose flywheel? does it still die? does it knock in neutral with the clutch out? does the knocking change if you rev it? you can check the flywheel if you leave it in gear and turn crank side to side a bit and crank moves before clutch assembly does.
