My poor baby, another problem has raised its ugly head :sad3:
It appears under load there is a knocking noise which can be felt in passenger foot well, it's louder when in gear and can just about hear it if i knock it out of gear but fades quickly as the speed drops. If i keep revs down to a minimum the noise/knock isn't there and appears to be louder as i go up the revs between 2.5k and 4k.
Reading some threads it suggests it could be clutch release bearing or input shaft bearing, all of this info is pre 2010. (Cam Skill - release bearing (http://www.camskill.co.uk/m22b0s1401p14831/MITSUBISHI_LEGNUM_GALANT_VR4_%28EC5W_EC5A%29_-_SERVICING_PARTS_TUNING_SPARES_and_SERVICE_ACCESSO RIES_-_Clutch_Release_Bearing_-_Pull_Type_-_Mitsubishi_Legnum_VR4_EC5A_EC5W) - input shaft bearing (http://www.camskill.co.uk/m22b0s1401p81862/MITSUBISHI_OE_GENUINE_PARTS_SERVICING_PARTS_TUNING _SPARES_and_SERVICE_ACCESSORIES_-_Input_Shaft_Bearing_-_Mitsubishi_Galant_Legnum_VR4_EC5W_EC5A))
There are no oil leaks and there is enough oil in gearbox,
Although randomly if i turn car right the noise goes away, left and it's back - i will test this again when i go out later, might be a red herring.
Could there be any other reason for such a noise?
Thanks
Barry
