Hello, I have a 1990 240 DL wagon that I just finished doing a whole lote of work on. I started it and everything seemed fine, but when I went to back it out of the garage, I noticed a clunking noise from the drivetrain (not on startup - more like something is catching on something else), and something feels like it is dragging? The clunk seems to be based on speed, but it's hard to tell, because I pulled it back into the garage right away and killed the motor. It happened in first on the way back in, too.
Some background - M47 5 speed manual tranny with rubber Flex Coupler - The tranny mount was broken, I replaced it, which changed the position of it (it was sagging a little). One of the bolts holding the Flex Coupler to the tranny flange was loose and being eaten away, so I replaced that as well. The bolt I used was slightly longer (Volvo prices TOO HIGH say Grog!), but I spun the driveshaft and it moved freely - although, it was on jack stands at the time... I also adjusted the parking brake, which could be it, although I did jack up each rear wheel Post Noise, and they both spun freely with the parking brake off, although, I did not jack the entire rear end up at once. One side at a time. lazy. The only thing I did to the tranny was change the nasty fluid, replaceing it with some ATF type F, which is what my Bentley manual said to use.
When it first started moving, it felt fine, then - clunk - the shifter moved as well. Went a little farther - clunk - shifter moved. I think it was worse with the clutch depressed (zoloft?), but??? Like I said, as soon as I heard it I pulled back into my garage and killed that mofuzzle.
Anybody else have this issue?? i plan on getting under there to look, but it's kinda hard to figure out, seeing as I would have to be under it when its moving to actually SEE the problem, and that probably aint gonna happen.
thanks
