BW 35 Clunk

[Mike J]

I've noticed a clunk coming from the auto box when slowing down.Happens as soon as the car stops. Just wondered if it was the torque converter about to give up? Some one said the "belts" could be adjusted on these. Forever confused Mike

Hiya, sorry, no belts. What colour is your transmission fluid ? Martin.

[Mike J]

A thin Red colour I replaced it last year. AQF from Comma I think it was.

At least the brake bands aren't burning out. Appeal to Russ, (Kryten) he's the expert. Martin.

i had this problem on a rv8 once and it turned out to be the kickdown cable to the carbs was adjusted to much slackend it off and all was well

[Mike J]

Thanks Will slacken off the kick down. Set at about 3mm at present I'll move it to 5mm Will let you know!!

Hi Mike, where the kickdown cable joins the carb bracket, there should be a tiny crimped collar on the inner cable, this should be set so that it is JUST above the outer, of course if it's gone AWOL you'll need to suck it and see. Martin.
