Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

since replacing rear drop links i know face the problem of a strange noise coming from the gear box. may be something or nothing but when i change up or down i get a slight chinking noise. had a new clutch fitted so dont think its that. the other thing i noticed was starting the engine when warm it sounds like the starter runs ahead , making the same chinking noise. my 996 c4 tip never did this. any ideas guys please.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

well its been checked out and it seems that all is ok. just things speeding up and slowing down in the box, prop shafts being hollow they send all the noises down them. just characters of these fine machines.
