Hi all , i took the 3 door out today for the first time since november and noticed the diff seems like its knocking , you can feel it more in reverse ,the car does have a paddle clutch and as you as you hit the biting point you can feel a clonk from the rear. does this mean a new diff mount is needed or is this normal with a paddle clutch ?

 

Do a search for diff mounts, even if its not the cause of your problem its still a worthwhile upgrade, and I happen to have a MSD mount for sale pm me if you're interested.

 

Pmd mate

 

Msd mounts are very good up grade.

 

have you got one fitted matt?


£80 plus postage is too much 2nd hand mate, thanks for the offer .

 

you will get that with a paddle clutch sometimes but check you prop shaft rubber and diff mount

 

Check the bolts on the diff mounting points to the rear beam and the drive shafts where they bolt onto the diff , mine came loose and it was them that was causing the knocking on mine .
