Had this posted in the Mk1 forum but was suggested I post it here too, so,
Over the past week I've noticed a strange knocking type noise coming from where I think the gearbox and clutch are, getting worse this past couple of days.
At first it doesn't make the noise when under heavy acceleration but at first only when coasting in any gear or stood at the lights when not in gear at all.
Over the past couple of days it's gotten more noticeable, and it's when in any gear under very slight acceleration at the very beginning of that gear ie, in 3rd at 20mph, 4th at 30mph, 5th at 40mph.
Please anyone any ideas?
On a slightly related note, that's always how I've driven my petrols, they'd hit 2000 revs and I've change gears, in all the cars it was at the above speeds in those gears.
When I got this I just figured with the extra talk I'd just keep changing at those speeds and keep more economical.
Should I not be doing that? Should I still be waiting til 2000rpm as opposed to the speeds?
