Does anyone know of a problem putting a W58 in an RA28 with a 18RGU motor. The problem i'm having is that as soon as the box was put in i'm getting crunching noises comming from either the box or the motor. It's not something in the box, it sounds like something on the outside is rapidly hitting metal. It only happens when cornering really hard or when u drop the clutch in 1st 2nd or third.
So i think its just when the motor and box torques in the mounts and the bellhousing or something hits something. I've had the car up on a hoist twice now, and we (me and a 2 mechanics) can't physically see where its hitting. And can't think of any way of testing, apart from strapping myself under car and going for a thrash
Has anyone had this problem before with this conversion? Or am i just unlucky?
Thanks
Ben
PS- i know its a long shot, but i just thought i'd ask, just incase someone knows of a common problem this could be.
