Hey Guys,
I Just fired off a message to Frans at Dutch Auto Parts about a knocking noise from one of his transmissions I just finished installing.
However, with the time differences it may take a day or so for him to get back to me.
I have DUK 5spd transmission.
I am pretty sure even a transmission with no fluids in it should not be making these knocking noises.
I am open to suggesting that I am possibly way off base, so your feedback and opinions are what I am looking for here.
Does anyone know he if ships the transmissions dry? I can't see any marks on the drain plug from draining it.
I am hoping to avoid throwing $90 worth of tranny fluid in just to find it is a transmission issue.
I went to the point of testing up on jack stands and even when I stall the driver side wheel by hand from turning in
3rd gear at idle I still hear the knocking and feel a corresponding pulsing in sync with the noise.
Initially I headed for a test drive and returned back to my garage after about 300 yards or less at 10kmh as the noise
and pulsing was feeling like it could possiblly lead to some kind of failure. It definetly gets worse as speed is increased.
