Sounds Like I Am Always Going Over Bumps

[nightstocker99]

I just changed my clutch and flywheel. Now everytime that I strat to drive it sounds like I am going over bumps. It does it all the time!!! WTF

What do you guys think it could be??????

This problem happened to me but It was only because I had coilovers, they put my car on a lift to do some work, and when it was taken off the lift the coilovers didn't snap into place correctly, so I jacked up the car and realigned them, then set it back down and the sound was gone.

Yes it could be related to your suspension setup. Also check that your axles are installed correctly and make sure that the two bolt that connect the intermediate shaft to the block are tight. If all thats okay then you should check the control arm bolts and all other suspension related bolts you took off to do the clutch. And if all that checks out then you're going to have to drop the tranny again and check the clutch bolts and possibly take it to a shop to make sure it's balanced correctly. Also check your input shaft splines and check for play. Is the car awd? Did you put the correct amount of fluid back in? Also check it for leaks and make sure it is bolted up correctly. You obviously would check this before you drop the trans, I just thought about it. Any way good luck and keep us posted

I forgot to say it only happens on the drivers side I think I need more tranny fluid but I am not sure.

Oh, then I would definitely check that drivers side axle and intermediate shaft, and the fluid level but I dont think that would cause your problem, would probably just be noisy

Yeah it just sound like I am going over the bumps but it doesn't feel like it.

If you're thinking the transmission fluid level has anything to do with a suspension noise, then you've already been drinking too much transmission fluid.
Check the bell housing bolts and axle shaft bearing carrier.

If there is anything wrong with those two things then what would it look like, becuase I don't really know if it is the suspenion but you are the Man so I will check it out tonight.

Well the car needed some tranny fluid and when I rotated the tires my friend didn't screw the lug nuts down all the way. If I would have been driving (fast) the wheel would have fallen off and I would lose the car and my life more then likely. We over looked the smallest of things.



So problem fixed
