That little clunk or chink when pulling your utility tractor with your lawn tractor and you just take off and the lynch pin is a little loose? Or pulling a bigger trailer with your truck or tractor and the slack is just taken up in the trailer hitch?:(:(

Well, Tuesday evening on the way home from work the Cobra was making such a noise during gear changes. This is the sort of noise that it is wise NOT to ignore! I will not drive her until I have found the source. It could be a loose wheel. Or a loose driveshaft. Or a sloppy CV joint. Or could be something more sinister like a loose flywheel (Did I put loctite on those bolts?):confused::confused:

Anyway I should be getting my new engine very soon (Lumpy has it completed and dyno'ed) and it will take about a month to swap engines (because of the other things I plan on doing with the engine out.) So I might be done for the year.:(

A great year overall with no damage and no failures and no tow trucks!:D:D
 
Yeah, call Paul, paint some stripes on Cindy's Miata and come on!:D
 
New noise and no go

ouch borrowed mt slicks ran at 8 lbs put good gas in the tank put pills in for 300 shot of nitrous moved about 6 feet and bam tore planetaries out of a c-6 will have back together by this coming week end. already torn down. nice grinding grateing noise. have trans from ford diesel those should do it. wished i would have built it with them 1st.:(:eek: destroyed 1 sun gear, planetaries and planetary hub , and lots off cleanup. i guess could have been worse. now to wash ,clean and inspect what a pain in the _ _ _

Could be as simple as a U-jiont. They like to "ckunk" when you let out the clutch. Wind it up to about 4 grand and side step the clutch.....Whatever it is will quit makin noise!!!!:D

Just kiddin! I wouldn't do that on a good day.
 
noise fixed

:) just finished and took for 50 mile drive all is great once again supprised the discs in clutch packs show very little wear and all back to normal.just hope now its bullit proof. no other damage found. only problem was to flush out cooler and replace external trans filter had guy with transmission shop flush torque convertor. all ails healed

karl when you run the snot out of something you better know how to fix it or have deep pockets. luckly back in the 70-80s I twisted wrenches for a living and rebuilt automatics at home to support my race cars yep broke them too. but never thought I would rip the planetaries out of a c-6 they are pretty hardy - looks like sungear failed and caused rest of damage - now tomorrow i get to clean up the garage. I will tell you one of the handiest tools to have is a bench mule and a roll around transmission table. has hole in the center and a container to catch fluid. made by shure manufacturing. or check with Tom Keiser his company may make such a table. the table was well worth what i paid for it and its nice to have a roll a round. this one is sturdy enough to hold a assembled short block on it. think last time i looked they are around the 350 range but that was ten years ago for 1 I have here is their address and info Shure Manufacturing Corporation • 1901 West Main • Washington, MO 63090 • tel. 800.227.4873 • fax 636.390.7171 • sales@shureusa.com also paul proe sells shure products and they are nice
