Casey · 01-04-08, 05:43 PM

Hello,

I have bought a CAV GT secondhand and it has the Audi 016 transaxle with what I believe is the 5 puck single disc clutch. As the clutch engages, it can set up an degrading driveline shutter that is problematic if you need to slip the clutch when parking or the like.

I noticed that the sheet metal mounting points on the cars rear frame section are somewhat flimsy and the rubber tranny mounts are bouncy.

Has anyone had trouble with this too?

Anyone change the mounts or reinforce the sheetmetal area on the frame where the tranny mounts to help this probllem?

I know that this clutch is prone to this. However, if the natural frequency of the drivetrain mounting points could be changed, then the shutter might be elliminated.
