hey guys, ive just put a new clutch and gearbox in my s1 r33. and there was a bad clunknig sound so i thought ill change the diff.

the diff was also stuffed but there is still a clunking sound.

Could it be the actual gearbox???

My car is a s1 and ive put a s2 gb in does this matter??

Do i need a s2 flywheel or something like that, someone please help. ive just spent a shitload on my car and its still not performing the way it should be.

cheers

Michael

ive cheked everything.

the noise happens when i let go of the clutch during a gear change. so when i change from 1st to 2nd clunk. also when i take off there is a clunk.

if the mechanic put the wrong type of clutch in would this happen??

Listen for where the sound is coming from.

When driving -

If from just behind front seats, it's the propshaft (main driveshaft) hanger bearing.

If from just behind gearstick, it's the rear gearbox mount. Also gearstick will move

from side to side more than usual.

If from diffhead it's the back lash inside the diffhead which is normal.

It happens when backing off throttle after accelerating quickly.

Although I have been told that a diffhead can get excessive backlash.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
