gear box clunk

[marmitemartian]

Can anyone share similar issues as mine?, I have a 2011 d5 with manual gear box, on slowing down and reaching approximately 10mph the gearbox clunks, I understand its a solenoid opening the reverse gear gate, which fits, however im amazed that its such an audible clunk and fear mine is not how it should be, any similar experience?

mine is a very quiet click, i only hear it if i try, i can feel it through the lever if my hand it on it, but again, only if i am trying to notice.

Sounds like yours needs dealer attention.

Not sure Nissan would be interested in sorting problems with a 2011 D5. I should try your Volvo dealer.

Perhaps he means Nissan Main Dealer? Then again, not sure what the ex-South African President and anti-apartheid campaigner will be able to do to help, but he's a very nice man, so I'm sure he'll try......

Nelson Mandela is sitting on the verandah at home when there is a knock at the front door. He is surprised when he opens the door to find a small Chinese man holding a clipboard.

The China man thrusts the clipboard towards Nelson and says "You sign, You sign" Looking over the China man's shoulder he notices the delivery mans lorry which is full with gearboxes. Again the China man shouts "You sign, You sign".

Confused but certain that this can not be right Mr. Mandela refuses to sign for the delivery and sends the driver packing.

The following day there is another knock at the door, again it is the small Chinese delivery man. "You sign, You sign" he barks. This time Nelson notices that the lorry is carrying a cargo of rear axles. Again the delivery driver thrusts the clipboard under Nelson's nose "You sign, You sign".

This is not for me Mr. Mandela tells the excited delivery driver, now EFFOFF! and he closes the door.

The next afternoon the Chinese man is again on the doorstep with his clipboard, "You sign, You sign" Beside himself with anger Mr. Mandela glances at the mans lorry and notices that todays consignment is windscreens.

"You sign, You sign" and again the clipboard is thrust in to his face.

At the point of despair Nelson screams at the China man "THE GEAR BOXES WERE NOT FOR ME! THE REAR AXLES WERE NOT FOR ME! I DO NOT WANT THESE WINDSCREENS! WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING AT MY HOUSE?

The Chinese man replies "You Nissan Main Dealer?"

Mine is perfectly quiet.As you say it may be an electrical issue as a lot of faults seem to be on XC.

It may be a gearbox mount or other mount.There may be issues with the clutch or flywheel.Sounds mechanical.

Did you drive with the tailgate open as this has the effect of making the tailgate not work for a certain period.

My tailgate packed up. Then it started working as quickly as it had packed up.Then it stopped working.Then it started working.No "fault" found though.

What other faults have you had?
