tech q for the mechanically minded
Tech Q for those more mechanically knowledgeable than I (probably 99%+), I don't know if the EXTREMELY LOUD grating/grumbling (virtually unbearable)
noise coming from the rear end of my split bus is the gearbox or the reduction hubs...
Details which I hope will help: the grumbling only occurs when I accelerate. If I'm rolling with out the clutch engaged it's very quiet. If I'm
rolling with the clutch engaged but not accelerating at all there is a quiet whirring noise as would be expected. But as soon as you even slightly
touch the accelerator the grumbling starts...
Also, when I start rolling very slowly from a standing start in first there is a clicking/clunking sound which increases in frequency as I increase
speed. It is this noise which when going faster causes the unbearably loud noise.
I'm hoping someone might be able to hazard a guess as to what it might be from that description so I can decide how to go about fixing the problem???
Anyone??? Cheers!!

Well, if there's no noise without the clutch engaged then this suggests to me that it's not something downstream of the gearbox. I am not speaking
from experience here though, so take that as a guess.
Doesn't sound like much fun in any case.
Aurel.
