Gearbox P to D to R clunk - Page 7

Changed the top torque bush and with the old one off, you can see just how much play there was there. A lot!

The car still clunks, but im hoping thats due to the broken poly bush I still need to replace down under.

removed the lower bush I had installed 200 miles ago.

It looked like this:

200 miles! Shows how much the top mount was moving.

Car now has new top and bottom bush in place, so far so good. Less clunking in to D. But of a clunk in to R but ATF fluid is still dark after 2 changes

Shocked a little at no replies. I guess the threads size and number of pages puts people off.

I think those images of the top bush would be helpful as a sticky though, I looked high and low for such images when i was lookign at swapping the bush out.

Have you checked for play in your drive shafts? I had that issue and it turned out to be the drivers side drive shaft. Just a thought.

neutral removal on the gearbox has improved this ten fold.

Win rar.
