I feel like sound hunting is not the best forum quest, but im getting super frustrated with this sound.
1982 hj47 troopy with h55f.
so I dont think it made this sound before around 3 months ago. I thought it was shot motor mounts and the tranny tower hitting the body. They were roasted, and i replaced all with tranny too. didn't stop this sound. I can feel it in my feet on the hardest bumps. seems to make the sound the most when loaded up for camping and aired down as the sound happens most when the car shudders on washboard or consistent hard bumpy road. wont nessisarily make it on a straight hard bump but if the truck wiggles i hear it.
The best description of it is it sounds like if you were to smack the back of an old car seat (40 series seat). the bounce forward shaking parts springish sound. you know?bugugugugy. I fell like the sound is similar to when I let the clutch off right after accelerating sometimes. like if you start moving at a light behind someone and they stop suddenly so you let the clutch off right as its torqueing and it makes a similar bugugugugy sound. I haranged on every part in the engine bay and under my foot area to see if it was something loose. nothing, its all rock solid. Ive had my starter fully loose before like fully bounceing up and down but its not that , shes tight tight. Ill try and record it but I feel like its something inside the bellhousing. I dont know a ton about what goes on in there and what parts are in that region that can make noise. aaaand It just got a new tcase, so the shop had the tranny out and I assume if there was anything sketch in there theyd have called me. its a reputable toyota offroad shop so I got some trust in them. if anyone has had a similar sound or knows more about stuff in the bell housing that could make that noise please let me know. or what could be at he back ass back of the engine between the firewall that might be loose and bouncing but i just cant see it.
thanks
