Clonking noise when lifting off the clutch
Noticed the other day when changing gear and lifting off the clutch and applying the accelerator I get a clonking noise any ideas.

Where from ?

If from the rear it could be the A frame ball joint.

Not that then. Could be splines on the drive shaft worn ?

For reference: I have a '95, 300/90 and just had the front axle rebuilt due to all the bits worn out (bearings, CVs etc) mine has 103,000

hope you find the source of the sound Thumbs Up

So I'm busy trawling this site looking for some answers myself.
I have a MY10 D90, 32k on the clock, clutch changed 3k ago under warranty, came back as tight as a models pert tush.
But I digress, this honeymoon lasted about a month and now, 3 months later, I had been getting more obvious drivetrain slack and then 2 days ago pulling off from a slight incline the transmission just stopped working, all I got was grinding when trying to release the clutch but no forward movement, nothing in low and diff lock.
Got towed to the dealer(LR Cape Town) after calling LR Assist and they pulled the transmission, they tell me it's a intermediate gear shaft between the gearbox and transfer box, outer splines completely worn, they also said they have never seen this on a new model so lucky me I guess. Sad

Do you mean a sharp 'clack' or a heavy 'clonk'?

The clack 'normal', a clonk is probably not. --
