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

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

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
