My gearbox has a loud clicking noise when it's changing from 1st to 2nd (under acceleration)

and from 3rd to od (when pulling off throttle) and going into reverse.

Cant hear it in the car only when the window is down

Don't know if it's serious because its still changing gears freely

keen to find out what it is so i can nip it in the bud

Check your fluid levels - both gearbox and ATTESA levels, get under the car and poke around for leaks namely coming from the main output shafts and other things that bleed.

I would be going and seeing an auto trans place pronto if it's doing it all the time now because it sounds like a problem and it's getting worse.

In the meantime i'd suggest that you limit where you drive the car.

Ended up being a loose cv joint in the rear right (when jolted, would click)

not the gearbox after all :)

got it fixed for free during a gear box service

got a transfer case refill as well (0.5L!!) with no clear leak :D

Ahhhh ok. Mine has been doing this for ages and I just stopped taking notice as nothing seemed to be affected. I had a feeling it might have been a rear C.V or something as the noise only have from the rear. Mind you it only does it when I'm reversing or just taking off in 1st under light throttle and then thats it, don't hear it again. Seems like a pretty easy fix then

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
