WRX STI strange knocking noise


Recommended Posts

Hey guys in desperate need of help please.

My 1998 wrx version 4 sti, is making a weird knocking noise. It sounds as if its coming from the gearbox part of the car.

It happens when im driving and i take my foot off the gas. When i let it cruise, there's this weird knocking noise and it gets worse when im slowing right down to stop. I find that the sound intensifies as i put my foot down on the clutch. The noise quitens when i apply the breaks and no noise when i accelerate.

Have recently got my gearbox replaced as i thought that was the problem but the sound is still there.

It started happening when i left my car for about a week and i drove it again, i gave it abit of a thrash, so dumping gears etc and it all started from there.

Please help,

Thanks,

Tim

Take a video, up load to YouTube, link for us.

YouTube for Subaru BeB and hope yours doesn't sound the same.

Open bonnet, turn car on and listen for where the knock is coming from. Did you replace the clutch when you replaced the gearbox? Maybe the thrust bearing has given out.

Hell it could be a loose wheel weight.

Finally, it's far too difficult to help you with a noise over the internet by description. I tried to describe a knocking noise in my struts, I ended up figuring out that it was my swaybar bushes in the end.

Good luck, I hope it's not a BeB.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
