I have a disturbing sound coming from my car. When Im driving in 3rd, if I let off the gas and coast, sometimes when it downshifts into second, it makes a "bang" sound. Like one kind of loud thump. Like a hammer tapping on a metal pipe is the best way to describe it.
It seems to be shifting fine and theres no other simptoms. Doesnt happen everytime either. It does happen more often when the AC is on.
Just like a bang when it catches 2nd gear.
Could this be a sign of doom for this car? It sounds like its coming from the back.
Any ideas on anything to check or watch out for???? :wtf
:usa
u joints are cheap and i have a bad one too it does the old clunk when going from park to drive they are like 22 bux i have a new one just havnt had the time to pull the drive shaft and replace it.... its so simple a cave man could do it lmao!
im not sure on the transmission....im just taking a gander but...but more than likely its the u joints...they wont take but 15 min each to change out...all you got to do is take out 2 bolts pop the drive shaft out take the u joint out and put a new one in...and do the same for the back
U joints are quite cheap, but if lekft unattended, u joint failure can be real exspenive.
You can tear up your drive shaft & transmission.
