Clunk diff

[Snowwolf]

Hi all, is the diff on the VF clunky by nature ?

 

[Mavericks Choice]

Have a reasonably new 1200K SSV M6 ute & the diff is very quiet.

20,000k's in on my 320RWKW Redline (auto), all quiet.

 

[Smitty]

... 30,000 kms on the R8
and all quiet

Mine is fine while driving no noise at all, but if your on slightly bumpy road surface and coasting slow or if you was to put it in neutral on a bumpy surface moving slowly it sounds like something is really loose, like a box of nuts and bolts being shaken in a tin, I cant find anything loose under the car, all the time you have Drive there is no noise over bumps

Keep me posted. I own an SV Black Manual and I thought I heard this exact sound you are talking about. With drive it seems fine, no issues. How many km's on your GTS?

It had the noise at 3000 miles a new diff was fitted about 3000 miles ago and it was quieter but the noise has now come back, drives perfect when even the slightest of load but as soon as you take foot off gas peddle on bumpy ground you get a clanky sound like something is loose on the passenger side rear Drive area,

All holdens no matter what prices clunk and rattle. All of them.

Sounds like this is a characteristic of the 3.7 rear end in the manuals especially since you got yours replaced. Going to test this tonight over slow bumpy corners and driving over those ripple pedestrian crossings in neutral.

Yes give it a try XR just in a straight line will do, or when standstill just keep snatching clutch peddle to biting point continually it will make it clunk a lot
