List,
Ever since its restoration many years and thousands of miles ago, my brother's
'76 TR6 has made a "clunk" when changing direction as in backing up, then
going forward or going forward, then backing up.
We have examined the diff mounts, replaced all universals on the drive shaft
and half shafts, pulled the half shaft apart and greased them, etc. etc. We're
about to change the diff, even though neither of us believes the diff to be
the problem. In other words, we're down to grasping at straws.
This morning we made a new observaton which is why I'm appealing to the List
for insight or solution.
If the E brake is on while we attempt to move the car forward or backward,
there is no evidence of this "clunk". It occurs only if the car moves, however
slightly.
I would assume this evidence eliminates the driveshaft, diff, and half shafts
as the cause of the problem.
Does the List agree?
Then, what's left? Brakes? Wheels?
