Ok... i have a small or big problem with my 92 sc300 5spd. when i go to put it in gear to move forward or reverse i hear a loud THUMP or BANG! i fell its coming from the right rear.... what could it be? it only happens when some load is on the car. i jacked the car up and put it on jack stands and switched through the gears and it would only happen when i first pull off and switch gears... its definitely coming from the rear.

i really would like ANY input at all... im actually trying to sell the car and lost a buyer because of this insanely loud BANG

Could be a bad spring, rear strut mount. Trans mount, rear end mount. could be anything in the drive line.

i wanna cry.

drive shaft may be hitting the floor as my buddies did in his 328i. Only during load, check ur driveline

I had a broken exhaust hanger near the heatshield doing something like that
I had that stupid problem for months

i dunno if it was a bang or thump. ima go with neurocity on checking your rear spring to see if its sitting on the mount properly

stylez1006

doubt it would be the spring. as it never did this before


thx for all the input guys. keep em coming. as i get input i run outside to check lol

I had a similar sound and found out that my rear sub-frame was cracked and was banging against itself until it finally broke.

hmmmmm i really hope it isnt that. what was the "dmg" (cost) if you dont mind me asking

wooow im confused, your car interior looks so clean but what happened to the exterior? none the less a clean car with low mileage!

stylez1006

thx.. i baught the car in jan but never really found time to get exterior work done... hell i never even registered the car lol. i have way too many bills and debts right now to maintain the car ATM so thats why im selling it. i dont want to but everyday is a new day and with the new day comes new problems and bills lol at least in my life. thx for the compliment

what size are the wheels?

hey all, I'm the potential buyer of the car.

it wasnt just a noise really, the whole car jolted along with it. almost sounded like gears grinding to me, but i could be mistaken. definitely somewhere in the rear.

hopefully we can figure this one out

Your differential is blown. Pull the magnetic drain plug located on the right side of the diff and lets see what it looks like.

My brother had a 92 5spd that would bang and jolt when slowly pulling off of 1st. We would roll on it slowly til the end of the street and make a U-turn. As we make the U-turn you feel the rear end of the car just cracking and jolting every couple seconds. It is really not recommended that you drive on it if it is blown otherwise your rears might lock up. Another warning sign would be spots of oil surrounding the diff case. Goodluck.
