Clonk from transmission

Madmax43 · Apr 8th, 2014, 12:46

Folks, just a quickie:

I run a '99 V70 XC AWD auto. When cruise shuts down or I nail it (auto transmission) I get a 'clonk' from the underside of the car. it can be felt through the seats. There is no extra vibration, noise or ill effects apparent. AWD works fine when needed and tests OK.

I swap front and back tyres around every 5 -> 6000 miles to try to avoid uneven wear.

Any ideas as to what this 'clonk' could be?

Engine mounts?

Sounds like engine mounts or bushes to me too. Possibly UJs on the prop? Doubt very much its gearbox related you'll be relieved to hear

Thanks guys

Funnily enuff the local Volvo independent suggested a worn bush on the prop. Nothing to worry about he says...

Famous last words...!
