clutch knock

[KarlVTR]

wen i change from 1st to 2nd gear there is like a clunk noise wen i release the clutch pedal,any ideas? Also whilst im here,when im reversing and go to apply the brake theres a clunk sound that comes from the front aswell.cheers smileys/smiley2.gif

i got the same problem with the gears. but mine makes the clunk noise in the gear box wen puttin it from 1st into 2nd, not the clutch. but the cluth makes a slight clunk noise when ever i press it, especially wen im in trafic

[KarlVTR]

sorry,i did mean the clunk comes from the gearbox,any clues as to what it is?

I get the 'clunk' between 1st and 2nd too, but the other changes are tight as a drum. Anyone have any ideas?

My biggest fear atm is my g/b and clutch going, although there's no signs of either failing, it scares me..........(and my wallet)...... smileys/smiley5.gif

i think its a comon problem with saxos. my vts does the same with 54000 on the clock and me bro has a the same problem and his only has 15000 on the clock ona 53 reg. clunky into gears yer.

yeh mate,mines a 51 reg wiv 23k and it does it from 1st to 2nd gear mainly.

well i've sorted out my gearbox clunk noise. jus grease up the inside ball of the gearbox with grease spray and spray up all the gear linkage underneath the car. my gear chaneg is smooth and peacful now smileys/smiley4.gif

cheers mate,i will give that a try at weekend

u got any pics of wear to spray m8 could be good for a how to guild. probs few peeps had this problem with clunky noises from gear box.

[hmuminovic]

well the noises ahs come back due to the rain annd when the car was driven it all got undernath and into all the joints agen. now im gonna buy a new set of links and grease them up well n put them on. i'll try and get some pics up if i can get my cam workin.

if u dnt know what to grease up jus jack the car up undo the 4 nuts that hold the heat protection plate obove the exhaust,move it around till you see thin bars, on these bers theres joint, grease them up good with grease spray. also do the same for the front part of the car by the gearbox itself. and inside the car the ball joint on the gear stick.

hopw that helps.

will have a ganda this weekend. will borrow some decent grease from work.

That makes a good read, I have this problem going from first to reverse or reverse to first but not in any other gears, Might actually make a very good how-to-guide

[WestyVTR]

its a common problem on all sax & pugs! the gear mesh goes.... just keep it all greased up proper! i sumtimes find having the heaters on hot & then on the feet setting helps the gear change.....

lol, that sounds so dodgy, typical though, lol.
