Here are some answers to your questions. By the way, you have all said the
same thing. That it sounds like the Connecting Rod Bearings.
*Does the knocking get worse under load, ie acceleration in high gear?*
Knocking does get worse under load. Although, once hearing it, I backed of
on heavy acceleration. The knocking is very bad in gears 1 through 3.
Fourth gear does produce the sound, but not as loudly.
*Does it get less or disappear on the overrun?*
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by overrun.
*Is it a slow thumping noise or a fast woodpecker-like noise?*
The noise is a fast woodpecker-like noise.
*Other questions I have received include: Is there a rattle upon start-up?*
I have not heard a rattle. I'm not sure this means anything
good or bad.
