Car can't take it
Oh man...so yesterday I took my 91 GT out for a spin. I drove it a little hard and now[:@] ... there's noises coming from all over the car!
1. The right exhaust sounds like it's knocking
2. There's a squeek coming from one of the left side wheels
3. There's a knocking coming from the front of the car that coinsides with the speed of the car, the fast I go, the more rapid the knock
4. There's a rattling when I press the clutch or while its releasing
5. Loud clunking noises from the gearbox
6. Oil gauge stays very low
Guess its back to the garage for this puppy. I'm not driving the car hard anymore.
I thought these cars were tough man! [:@]

RE: Car can't take it
they are tough sounds like the oil pump is on it's way out and in the process you spun a rod bearing , mine has a 157k on it and i drive it hard and have no trouble out of it .sounds like it is ready for a rebuild though man sorry.

RE: Car can't take it
what did u put together?
the car is 17 years old, and im sure it took the beating well or it would have died. i bet you it still pulls donuts like nothing
have a shop look at it no offense you dont sound too mechanicaly inclined.

RE: Car can't take it
I just had a look and most of those problems are easy fixes.
1. The knocking from the exhaust ... Looks like one of the hooks that it was weld to broke, so I'll have the muffler shop deal with that
2. The squeek - still don't know what that is yet. Isn't there a bearing in the wheel?
3. As for the knocking, there's a piece of rubber hanging just in front of the front left wheel. I'm going to cut that off.
4. I'm going to replace the gearbox - Just need to decide on whether to buy a new one or rebuild the current one
5. Is the oil pump easy to replace?
Once I get these fixed ... it'll be back for another azz whooping!
