Got an issue that just started in my '06 Spec V. Kinda hard to describe, kind of a single 'clunk' noise at odd times. I might hear it backing out of the driveway, going slow down the street, but can't hear it when going at highway speed. Tried to listen with the windows down, but still couldn't pinpoint it. Definitely coming from the front, can't decide which side, seems very close to the firewall. Seems to happen when speed changes (something shifting?), but not really tied to the transmission shifting, or bumps.<BR><BR>Close to the firewall sounds like a motor mount. Backing down the<BR>driveway seems to reinforce this. I don't know, because I never messed<BR>with a QR25 car. Replacing the motor
mounts on the cradle should be<BR>pretty easy. That transmission has a cable-operated shifter, doesn't<BR>it? That wouldn't make that kind of noise...<BR><BR>-- <BR>-=|JP|=- <//><<BR><BR>Why, yes, I *can* cross-thread a ketchup bottle.<BR>+----------------------------------------------------------------------+<BR>The mailing list home page is <a href="http://www.se-r-list.org/" target=_blank >http://www.se-r-list.org/</a><BR>To modify your subscription, go to <a href="http://www.se-r-list.org/mailman/listinfo/se-r" target=_blank >http://www.se-r-list.org/mailman/listinfo/se-r</a><BR></td>
