Noise

Fubar4774 · February 20th, 2007, 09:39 PM

I have a 91 LX and at idle everything sounds good. But when I give it gas it makes a tapping noise. My first thought was lifters. I had a friend of mine listen to the lifters and everything with his tools and he said the lifters all sound good. I was told by someone else it is my flywheel or clutch. BTW its a T5 with no 2nd gear. Bad synchro or something. Is this true that the flywheel could make a noise like this. The noise can be heard outside of the car but is much lounder inside the car. Thanks for any help.

maybe an exhaust leak.

Fubar4774 · February 20th, 2007, 09:53 PM

It had one but thats not it because we fixed the leaks and its still there. That was one of our first thoughts also.

I was fawking stupid one time, and didnt change my oil when i should have and i got a nasty tap tap tapping sound....Make sure you have plenty of oil man. Not calling you dumb, but hey man, it happened to me.

Fubar4774 · February 20th, 2007, 10:40 PM

Yeah I did that once with an old truck I had. I am careful about checking oil now. Its not that. But thanks, i know your werent trying to call me dumb, its an understandable explanation.

Yes he was and you know it... he wanted to call you that in "hidden terms"

I'm kidding, I'm just in a good mood today so no worries :wink :wink

Fubar4774 · February 21st, 2007, 03:32 PM

Yeah he might have. I am a newbie anyways. I dont even know anything about Mustangs. Except the 4 cylinder non turbo ones. I have just crossed over from the ricer life. Not really I wasnt into the whole body kit shit, but I did own a import. I have to say this is much better than that unreliable Eclipse.

No fellas, if anything I am calling myself dumb because it happened to me...I was just giving a helpful piece of advice that could be an easy fix.

GTXRacing · February 21st, 2007, 05:25 PM

Don't worry, I was in your shoes at one time. I cleaned the shoes up though, didn't want you to get athelete's foot. :wink But I've crossed over from my ford banger Focus to something that doesen't feel like a tonka toy and had no choice but to learn. Even though i watched dad all my life and worked in shops, this was my first actual real V8. So I bought a used 302 that I got ripped off for when they said it was a 351, I said fuck it not worth throwing the engine upside there faces. Anyways I broke that engine down bare hands, no air tools no torque wrenchs NOTHING BARE hands... Of course regular hand tools.

But I learned that way So you're not far away.

I'm yacking to much sorry

Fubar4774 · February 21st, 2007, 05:29 PM

Yeah thats my plan this summer, get to know this car. I am up at school right now living in dorms with no tools or place to work on it. So for now its just the info I can get about it on here I guess. Thanks for the help, I guess I will just change the tranmission out and go from there.

Tony_90fox · February 21st, 2007, 05:31 PM

What college do you go to? I go to WKU, and am in the same situation you are in....Go out and meet the local mustang guys if you have a website or club near you....Bowling Green has an awesome mustang group and they help me out with alot of stuff. I live on campus two hours from home.

Fubar4774 · February 21st, 2007, 05:33 PM

Northwest Missouri State, There really isnt much of anything here. This town is in the middle of nowhere in Missouir. But back home where I am at, there are tons of mustang groups and a shop 5 minutes away that specializes in Mustangs. So I will be hanging around there a lot from the looks of it.
