1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I miss my old town of 800.

 

Damn those are some losses man!

 

I don't have the balls to do that lol

 

Thats to good to be me

 

Signed up the last deal; accidently made more money than I should've

 

Replace the carrier bearing. still getting clunks I can feel it in the gear shifter thinking it's a throwout bearing what do you guys think. Increases speed as I do.

 

Throw out bearing would make a whining noise at idle and go away when you get on the clutch; at least that was my experience in 3-4 different cars

 

When do the clunks clunk?

 

FTFY

 

When driving from a stop. Stops around 50mph

 

Ok so it's not the throw out cause there is none

Don’t talk about yourself like that

 

I'm going to check the slip yolk in a bit

 

Doesn't sound like a throwout bearing issue, I've had that for awhile and it's more of a chirp like loud angry crickets that goes away with the clutch.

The clunks sound like maybe a separate issue. Bearing noise that increases with RPM sounds like what I had when my idler pulley bearing was bad. Clunking from the gear shifter is it coming from the driveline or specifically the shifter? The bushings in the shifter go bad and fall apart with age/miles.

A clunk from underneath would have me thinking ujoints or something loose with your suspension maybe. You grease the ujoints regularly?

 

Italian reporting in.
Can confirm.

 

Yea, but last week the clunking started and the slip yolk was dry was like 5 pumps of grease. But it is coming underneath. I don't think it's the shifter bushings cause it sounds like (in the cab) coming from the back.

 

The slip yoke doesn't get much grease where it needs it when you pump it into the zerk, better to take it apart and grease it by hand.

Also awhile back I had a strong clunk in between gear shifts and it got a lot better after I tightened the big bolt on the trans mount, mine was pretty loose
