Guest Rafal bandola Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hi I have a question, I'm the owner of the New Yorker from 1947 Straight 8 engine, I jus finish to Renovate the car, but when I star to drive there is a the sound noice fron the tyrans sounds as knocking, tiktik, when I add more gas, you can hear it faster but it drivs. If anyone know what can that be? Should I be worry? The sound comes from the gearbox You can hear it when the car is standing The sound is rhythmic and constant when the clutch is pressured you can almost not heard But when I go faster it is more frequent but still rhythmic constant do you know what that can be? I would be grateful for any answer. Rafal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Harmatuk Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I once had a fly wheel loosen up. It was a 56 Ford but it made a constant clunk, clunk when idling. That is where I would start. With a manual transmission it would require dropping the transmission and clutch / pressure plate. Good luck. Bill H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oily rag Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You may have to put the car on a lift or go under the car on stands with it running. You should be able to hear if it is coming from the flywheel, gearbox, or U joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
