HSG 97 Driveline Noise

[RVRWill]

Hi all,

I have a 97 HSG manual, about 145000km on it. My father owned it before me. It has developed a soft scraping noise, similar to an unlubricated motorcycle chain. It is loudest on deceleration but still present on acceleration. It disappears completely if you are coasting with the clutch in. It is louder in 4th and 5th but not much.

It has had a new clutch and throw out bearing. It is definitely coming from inside something mechanical. It is not a brake or bearing.

I'm wondering if there is a common problem with transfer cases or gearboxes with these things or if anyone has experienced this before.

Thanks

Will

Put it up on a hoist and run it up and get someone to find the noise.

Drive it down the hill and let it roll. If you hear it press the clutch pedal and see if it's gone. If it's gone it is your clutch mate.
Is your clutch heavy duty with springs?

Std over the counter clutch. There is a twin plate heavy duty on in a box of spare parts. Might be time to fit it hey.
