Gday,
Got a VE stato 6.0, had the gearbox serviced and all is good by a reputable gearbox joint, had the diff serviced which actually didn't need servicing.
The problem: Feels to me like theres a little slop or backlash or whatever you want to call it, in the drivetrain, gearbox or diff. Usually happens when slowing down for a red light then it goes green again, when you accelerate you get a slight thud like the driveshaft is turning a 1/4 of a turn before you move. Doesn't happen all the time, mainly slowing down then re accelerating it will happen.
Gearbox people say all is good, no problem, diff people say the same thing. Diff guys had it up on the hoist and had someone in the car putting in drive and reverse while someone underneath was checking for movement.
All diff bushes are new they say as well as the diff oil.
The car has around 235,000kms on it now, but has been well serviced with the past owner.
Anyone suggest anything else I can check?
Cheers
