clutch thud

Recommended Posts

I'm not the most mechanical of people but I've noticed a thud whenever I release the clutch while moving. It won't happen when braking or accelerating. I had the transmission mount replaced the other week any ideas before I take it to the garage for a look.

Is the thud coming from under the gear lever? Or further towards the rear of the vehicle? 

 

You said it won't happen when braking or accelerating. Are you releasing the clutch with no throttle input when it happens then?

I'd be checking engine mounts, engine stay (the dogbone from top of block to the firewall) and rear diff bushes.

 

For the first two -- rev the engine in neutral and see if it moves around too much.  For the rear diff bushes, crawl under the car and have a peek - they're pretty obvious when gone.

Went for a drive today sound like it's at the front of the engine at very least engine bay. Sorry I was meaning it won't happen if I plant my foot on the accelerator or brake. Releasing the clutch with or without throttle give the same noise. Think I will grab one of the guys for the garage and go for a lap of the block. Thanks for the help

Engine stay feels pretty solid and doesn't seem to move much. Shitty weather and no garage wasn't so keen to crawl under the car. Thanks for a starting point

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
