Knock heard when reversing
Hi,
When I select Reverse and start reversing, while in the process of going backwards there is a sound of a sharp knock. It appears to be coming from the front of the car....it seems to be clutch related as if I raise my foot off quickly... and more so when reversing up a hill this knock will happen. If I gently raise my foot off the clutch on a flat road, then nothing happens or.. once it has knocked once it won't happen again unless I drive forward and then reverse. It is intermittent as it will not always happen, never in forward gears or motion. I have been told that it could be the brake pads catching on the disks...but its difficult to say exactly where the noise is comming from Gearbox, Pads etc. but seems central most of the time. The gearbox works fine and so does everything else except for this knock.. must mention that new CV joint fitted on the passenger side recently.
Car is a Focus estate 1.6 Ti vct 55 plate.
Any Ideas....Cheers
