Hey Guys....
Got some sort of clunking happening in the car... generally it only occurs on the freeway, where i went to accelerate in top gear it kinda just clunks when i give it a bit of throttle, quiet violently.. its gotta be diff/driveshaft related... anyone got any ideas as to what it is?
Theres no play in the tailshaft, and i havnt checked the diff oil?
Any help would be much appreciated

if u got an auto - join the club mine does that as well; started after did some mods which increased to power coming from the engine - not good!
anyhow havn't found out what it is yet ...
Morgs,
Sorry to haer of the clunks.
Got a few more details on the car?
Manual / Auto mods, make model etc.
Should make it easier to help find the problem.
Cheers, Pete
Ahh vital details, sorry its an auto VS V6.
Stock as a rock...

Morgs,
Thanks for that.
Got a VN myself and get a similar type of noise whenever the splines in the tailshaft need greasing (usually about every 12 months or so)...might be worth a look.
Can't think of anything else though.
It's your uni and/or CV joints. My mate has the same problem with his VN auto wagon. He checked them out himself, and they've got a fair bit of play. Hope i've been of some assistance
a wild stab in the dark here. I have seen a VP? with alot of crankshaft end float, which wasn't really noticeable in driving as it was auto, and the driver probably didn't give it a hard time. This may be worth checking. Just grab the harmonic balancer and push/pull and see if it moves.
Speed doesn't kill.......it's the sudden stop at the end.....

My mums XD 4.1l auto falcon does that...realy REALY violently....if u accelerate semi hard and the tyres grip, the hole thing shakes to buggery....i usually ride it out but thats only cos were getting rid of the car in two days
I'm reckon its gearbox related though.
