help needed, clunking sound and shuddered!
 

Hey people,

was comming home from town after picking up the missus and just before i got home when i pulled in the clutch at low revs to stop it sort of shuddered and made some clunking sounds.

its a k5 pointy, with a good amount of oil.

i checked in the drive there that if i make it move then rev it to about 2.5k revs then it makes the noise.

so what could it be?? help please?

did you have your foot resting on the gear pedal? if it was in 2nd or neutral and you accidently brushed it into first it'll make that noise and shudder a bit...

Re: help needed, clunking sound and shuddered!
 

yeah i know that can happen,

but nope that wasnt it as when i tried it in my drive i had both my feet on the ground :S

Low tick-over?

Did you pull the clutch in just before it stalled? where you rolling along on tickover?

my tickover is 1.5k and it shudders at 2k

Re: help needed, clunking sound and shuddered!
 

ah, not good...should be relativly smooth at 2k....

have you checked the chain tension and everything?

Chain may need tightening or replacing mine made a knocking and shuddered the chain was really stretched but need a new chain and sprocket any how ( i was just trying to get the most out of it before needed adjusting everyday).

Re: help needed, clunking sound and shuddered!
 

chain seems to be ok and tight enough, it wont make it until its moved slightly then when im in gear at a standstill with the clutch in, it will make the same noise if i rev it to 2k.

hmm, difficult to offer too much advice without actualy experiancing it for myself.

Maybe you can get a video of it happening?

One clunk? A fast graunch? Describe it in more detail for us would you :-)
