Thud Coming From Rear Of Car When Clutching In 1st?

[dnbutts]

howdie all,

whenever i seem to clutch to shift from 1st to third at around 3000rpm, i can hear/feel a bit of a thud from the rear to centre of the car...could this be a the diff/gearbox going? or just a loose mount or something.

Any info would be much appreciated.

thanks.

all that means is that you havent built up enough revs when selecting the next gear... hence the thud. if your skipping from 1st to 3rd make sure you have the revs and speed built up otherwise it will always thud... 1st to 3rd with revs under 3rpm will thud.

does it happen from 1st to 2nd?

often when i see some ppl tring to do a cook through the gears they change gears to early... thuding in between shifts

wouldnt be to good on your running gear... clutch too!

^^^^^ Agreed.

i get this thud at times too, its only when i am changing at lowish revs though.

cheers

this happens to me from 1st to 2nd most of the time and 2nd to 3rd sometimes, under 3k revs.

havnt really bothered analysing what it is, due to the fact its been like this for ages.
