So 485 is having some driveline windup issues. Im not sure how other members cars drive or how other AWD cars drive so I dont know how extreme it is. Basically, in 1st gear, after a stop ill accelerate normally and it jerks real hard, almost feels like a RWD or FWD car in 1st gear and pressing the gas hard and letting go fast, but over and over again. It eventually slows down and stops once the car gets going, but once you let go of the gas it shakes and jerks real hard until the car is going slow enough or until i press the clutch. And yes, I know how to drive stick so its not a driver issue. Iv been thinking about getting a 4 bolt LSD for 485 and I was wondering if this would help get rid of the windup.
Also, does anybody else have that loud air leak sound coming from the rear little triangle windows? iv tried almost everything to get rid of it, taken the windows out, put sealing stuff, put back in, more sealing stuff. I cant figure it out /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Also, in any gear, everytime i let go of the gas and coast i get a horrible whirling/grinding sound coming from somewhere in the drivetrain. i have changed the fluid in the tranny, the transfer case, and the rear diff and still the sound is there. anyone else have this problem and what did they do to fix it? EDIT: noise goes away when I add gas again.
Lastly, On cold starts, there is a fast clicking sound coming from the engine, at first i thought it was valve click or some kind of cam problem. But now Im thinking it is the spark plugs that are making the sound (NGK iridium plugs gapped to .030). Not really sure what it is. The sound also goes away once the car is warmed up.
all help is greatly appreciated!! sorry, if these topics have been covered, i tried a search of everything but was unlucky. thanks again, these little problems have been really pissing me off latley
