Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / March 2008My stick shift 95 Camry DX goes 'clunks' when I shift gears
There is not 'clunks' if I accelerate and shift slowly, But if I want to accelerate moderately, it clunks after letting of the clutch. > There is not 'clunks' if I accelerate and shift slowly, But if I want > to accelerate moderately, it clunks after letting of the clutch.

Ransley means well, but doesn't seem to know much about cars. Your problem is some sort of wear in the driveline, probably a CV joint. I suppose it could be the clutch release bearing, but they usually just make noise.

I assume the CV joint should do the same (I do not get vibrations at all) > There is not 'clunks' if I accelerate and shift slowly, But if I want > to accelerate moderately, it clunks after letting of the clutch.

You can move the engine forward and back with your hands (engine OFF and cold) to check for excess movement. Engine mounts that are shot will also shake the engine at idle.

But it idles very nice. Would bad CV joints give me rough ride at 80mph? I have a very smooth ride with this car up to 80mph (I have not tried to speed faster because of 'traffic tickets') if I accelerate conservatively an change gears and let the clutch off with care. > On Mar 15, 1:26 am, "mjc13<REMOVETHIS>" > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > speed faster because of 'traffic tickets') if I accelerate > conservatively an change gears and let the clutch off with care. My experience with CV jonts has been the same as yours, but I've heard that they can just get loose first. It could also be something like worn clutch splines or a bad clutch - your car is just rare enough that people don't post about them much. Now ask about the automatic, and we can help! >>> There is not 'clunks' if I accelerate and shift slowly, But if I want >>> to accelerate moderately, it clunks after letting of the clutch.

Personally, I would take a long 2X4 and start prying on the engine and check for movement. Of course, I am a hillbilly... > >>> There is not 'clunks' if I accelerate and shift slowly, But if I want > >>> to accelerate moderately, it clunks after letting of the clutch.

I can't wedge a 2 x 4 from the top but I could try it from underneath by lifting engine. The front mount is visible and looks fine. |
