well i am totally confused about a sound my car has begun to make
bout 2 weeks ago, i dropped the 4A-GE back in the AE86 after going through regency, wired her up and had her all set to go. First time i drove it, 200m down the road, a loud clunk, then grinding noise comes from what i thought to be the g/box clutch area. i turned the motor off, checked things quickly out, then thought i had better drive it home, started it up, it sounded like something spinning from go to a quick speed then went away.
That was the last i heard of this sound till today. Driving home, and the noise comes back. Harsher this time, and like a very high pitched revving sound. the gearstick started shaking side to side and then she stalled. DIdnt want to start again till i was doin 20km.h on the side of the road. This was about a km away from home. I dont have ne problems driving it, just the sound doesnt sound very good. I dont want to drive it, but i was wondering what u guys thought it could be.
My guess would have first off been the clutch not being tightened properly, adn a nut coming out... but now, im thinking it may be the gearbox from those shaking movements i felt.
Nehow it doesnt sound very good :(
ne help would greatly be appreciated guys
thanks
