    Default Clunk most gear changes and rev problem. 2002 Vu Ute

    I've just recently had a new diff put in my ute, a standard commodore diff. Because the one I had in before; the gear ratio was too high or low for highway driving (5th Gear) Now 9 times out of 10 when I change gears I hear this clunk after shifting in, what is it? Is it just me?

    Also just at the point where I let off the acceleration and push the clutch in, the engine revs? Is this normal?

    Thanks In Advance

    it revs higher cause you still have the accelerator pedal in for split second while you apply the clutch.. i do it sometimes :P

    and you probably bought a dodgy diff

    I have an auto but when i deccelarate then accelarate i also hear a clunk, i think it has somthing to do with the tailshaft engaging with the diff...... no idea but i do know its a normal thing to happen
    how loud is the clunk?
