Binding Sound in Reverse

chieftam · 08-21-07, 03:19 PM

I am thinking this is a function of the limited slip, but when I back up and turn at the same time, hear and feel a binding or slight clunking coming from the rear end. Is this a normal sound/occurance? Thanks.

HI there,
Not normal.
Please check the TSB section of this forum and you will find one for a lubricant change.

...and if that doesn't work the clutch pack change is next.

Had mine done this week. They flushed and added slippery additive to the differential. Then they take it and run a few figure 8s to get it into all the gears.

Chieftam, How many miles on the vehicle? Clutch chatter/bind usually occurs in both forward/reverse, but with the ole' Vette, one never knows. I see where they are recommending 2 bottles of additive now. I had the same problem with my 71, when it got hot, it chattered, changing the lube cured it. Use only GM lubes and additives........................just my .02

And on another note, for all the good advice and helpful knowledge, I say we pass the hat and get c4c5specialist into a Corvette..................

I only have 7,000 miles on the car, I had the fix done, but picked it up, drove it 30 miles home, put it in the garage, and left on a trip, so I haven't had time to reverse it much and see if it is fixed. I will take it out this week and make sure.
