central clunk very costly help please
I have a clunk which no one can solve. On accleration from rest and when turning right from rest i get a clunking and banging which comes from under the centre consol. I have had the drive shaft out and balanced, replaced exhaust system, had gearbox out and had faulty bearing replaced in torque converter, checked engine and gearbox mounts etc etc and lots of $'s later clunk and bang still there!!!! It is possibly a minor problem but no one can solve it and now i am getting frantic. I have also replaced motor due to a major overheating problem so i cannot think of any other possible problem. My car is a 1994 with 200000km but current motor and g/box less than 500000klms. Has anyone any ideas please?

yes to all
the gearbox has just been out to fix torque converter all mountings were checked engine and gearbox. Diffs front and rear have been checked and they are fine. It is not that sort of problem as it is not a binding type issue or noise related. Car drives extremely well with no other issues just a thumping coming up under centre consul and a soft cracking noise but not cv joint type noise more like a rubber dampened noise. I may have to mount a video camera under neath and go for a drive as it is impossible to replicate this problem on a hoist as it only happens under load. But i sure would like to no the answer as it is spoiling the joy of driving the car.

Had exactly the same problem. Replaced the drive shaft centre bearing, Part No: 27037PA000. Problem gone.

On the JDM models, there were two types of driveshafts. The 4WS model used a driveshaft on which the centre bearing couldn't be replaced separately. Other models used one on which the centre bearing could be replaced.
Australian models used the same driveshaft as the JDM 4WS model then???

Interesting - why would they use two types of driveshafts?
After all, the transmissions and rear differentials would be the same! I have now found out that two different types of driveshafts were used (at least on US models) - one uses a central CV joint, the other uses a central universal joint. It is this second type that has a replaceable centre bearing. Which type of driveshaft do you have? Jason.
