    Default Diff clonk at slow speed

    Hi all

    Anyone can tell me whats causing a clonking noise wen changing gears at slow speed. Usually only happens from 2nd to 3rd. Sound and feels like its coming from the diff. I can also very noticably feel the gear changes now. When i first got the car a few weeks ago, it changed gears without feeling a thing.
    Any ideas?

    Cheers Frank

    Diff backlash.

    Very common in the VT-VX range.

    Diff whiplash.
    Not sure exactly about resolving the problem (if you can).
    Read about "tightening" the diff back up.
    Anyway im sure someone will post up here in more detail soon.
