ATR Diff groan
Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2020 6:23 pm
I'm pretty sure its been doing it for a long time, but seems to have become more noticeable.
When the car is hot after having been driven, when I go to park at my destination, full lock at slow speeds seems to initiate some kind of groaning from the drive train. It can do it when cold also, but less often. Its not a popping or clonking noise as you would get from worn CVs for example.
No other noise whilst driving or whilst hoofing it - or if it does you can't hear it, only when parking for example.
Anyone every notice this on an accord type R or prelude box with the ATR diff fitted?
I'm going to refill with MTF-3 tomorrow. gearbox oil is probably 2 years / 10k miles old (refilled when diff was put in at PAW, box the diff came from was neglected however, new diff bearings also at this time - but would expect them to groan all the time if worn).
