Reverse Clunk

[mdking]

Hi all,

Happened for quite some time now, but every time I select reverse gear I get a clunk noise.

If i keep the clutch pressed and go into neutral and then into reverse again, it seems fine without any noise or problem. But as soon as I lift of the clutch pedal and try again into reverse i get the clunk sound again.

Tried with handbrake on and off.

Could this be something to-do with engine mounts? Or is it normal?

Went out to the car this morning. When the engine is cold it seems fine.

However, when engine is hot. It clunks every-time going into reverse..

Does not make the noise when driving in reverse. Only when selecting the reverse gear.

Any one had this problem?

Tested another clio 200 yesterday. Does not seem to-do the above.

Another trip back to Renault :glare:

My 197 has just developed the exact same thing....something else to add to the list. It just keeps getting worse

Post back if you find out what it is - for the rest of us!
