A nasty sounding rattle/clatter has occurred in my stocker 1.6 litre auto.(95000 klms) Getting worse by the day. Happens around 900 rpm and is loud. Appears to be coming from the gearbox end of the motor.When in idle sound is not loud, but putting in drive or reverse with foot on brake and revved around 900 rpm is loud.
As revs increased or normal driving, sound goes.
A dealership said he hasn't seen this particular fault on this model but thinks possibly cracked flex-plate, crook torque converter or broken-Crank!! (broken webbing on journals?)
But need to pull sump and trans to look ie 5hrs labour, then I'm stuck with continuing the repairs.
What do you guys think? any ideas?
or time for a low-klms jap motor?
