willfinch36 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Two issues with my TR6. 1) Squeak when pushing on the boot? suspension/bush related perhaps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH_R7Yt-Dms 2) Clunking noise when accelerating hard/ letting off the throttle. Any thoughts? Thanks, Will Quote Link to post Share on other sites

North London Mike Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 2) Clunking noise when accelerating hard/ letting off the throttle. Engine / grearbox mounts failed/ failing, causing driveline shut (or Prop UJs) ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) A single clunk upon engaging clutch could be diff nose mounting plate fractured, or diff pin. Repeating clunks drive shaft UJs. There are several other possibilities. The squeaky noise? maybe rubber trailing arm bushes - try WD 40 spray. But there's also the sound of fast metallic stick-slips .....faulty lever arm shocker, or is.chassis rusty? Time to take a look underneath.

AlanG Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Likely to be one of the aforementioned but with mine it was a worn diff. Only found after I had renewed everything else. Rock the car back and forth over a pit and it will be obvious what the clunking is. Alan. Edited January 17, 2017 by AlanG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue cedar Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sounds like the noise that came from the hotel bedroom next door to our room, when in Benedorm many years back. It seemed more more frequent during night time. We were on Club 18-30 !!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goswell Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Too any possibilities to list, however check the bolts holding the rear lever arm shocks to the chassis. Mine worked loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Would have a good look around the diff.. bad news would be diff pins good news would be a failed diff mounting bush.. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HarveyCoppock Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have a story relating to noise detection.... I would say in my defence I wasn't old and hadn't had a car long, and had plenty of 'advice' from 'experts' at work. Had a noise coming from the front of the car that varied with road speed. Nothing else affected it, steering, braking, but in spite of this I changed the wheel bearings. No difference. someone suggested that the bearing races could be turning round on the stub axles, and I should go round the axles with a centre pop to expand them a bit then refit. This made no difference. So I bought some new struts. No difference. Braking made no difference to it but as the disks weren't too good I had some new disks and pads. No difference. At some point in all that I changed the wheels front to back also - no difference. After all that I figured as everything was new now there couldn't be much wrong with the thing, so ignored the noise, irritating as it was. Then one day I noticed that the speedo needle jumped up and down slightly in synch with this noise. A £7 speedo cable and it went..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
