Re: Need some help! -- Me too!
On my 1992 SE-R...
I'm having problems that are very similar to the symptoms you described. Ever since I had my driver's side axle replaced a month ago, I've felt this weird metal to metal vibration. At first it was very faint but as time went on it started to feel/sound like a bearing going out. After a few days to a week, I started to get these clunking sounds. These noises came from the drivers side wheel-transmission area. About 80% of the time I hear/feel the noise when giving torque to the wheels. Out of that 80%, the noise happens when the wheel is slightly turned. The other 20% happens when the car is in neutral or in gear with the clutch in.
****In a short sentence, it makes noise 80% in gear (mostly when wheels are slightly turned) --- 20% out of gear. When rolling at slow speeds while applying torque you can hear/feel a clunk at certain revolutions of the wheel.
I have taken my car to several shops and they say that I'm crazy, nothing's wrong, and I'm just imagining things. I need to figure out what this is from. It feels really unsafe driving the car because I'm worried about the transmission locking up in a turn.
Oh, another symptom... I jacked up the car on jackstands, put the tranny in neutral, rotated one wheel about 2 inches and then you hear a faint clunk sound from the tranny. After the 2 inches, both wheels start rotating symmetrically. Once you stop and rotate the wheel in the other direction, you'll hear the clunk again.
Is this a bad differential??!
I did notice every once in a while, with my clutch in, 0mph, when moving the shifter into a gear, I'd hear a slight grind. It's the same kind of grind that you hear when you put the car in reverse.
Some one please help.
