    Default VT - Driveline

    Hi People,

    Im after some info on the Driveline of a VT commodore

    what mounts and or joints should be first port of call for upgrade and attention

    ie diff, drive shaft , trans

    got an annoying thud when changing up and gearing down. its subtle but annoying
    it may just be a mount?

    engine mounts in the vt are prone to bugger up. had one vt with busted engine mounts everytime i gave it a bootfull i heard a thud noise due t the engine mounts. once changed never made the sound again

    Engine mounts have been replaced
    along with steering Rack if that has anything to do with the noise
    most of the front end has been updated

    a list of what else ive done

    Link pins
    Radius Rod to Chassis Bushes ( changing Radius Rod to Control arm next weekend )
    Strut Top mount Bushes

    the noise is coming from the rear or mid point of the car

    Ive been told the Trans has no error codes

    Ive taken it to a garage shop that are diff specialists.

    they took it for a drive with me after I explained the noise i was hearing .
    he said it wasnt the actual diff. He gave it a fair flogging to, from stand still and planting the foot whilst in 2nd gear and gave it heaps.

    He also said you would smell it if the diff was gone.

    which leaves me to think its a joints in the driveline. uni joints etc. or mounts

    Id just like to know what is common or something that i can fix at home ?
