TD5 'Groans' in Reverse until warm
Truck is cold. I select reverse and start moving backwards. It makes a disturbing 'groaning' noise until I select 1st and start to move off. Doesn't exhibit same issue once warm.

I think the rear half shaft/s need replacing given the harsh clunk if not very gentle with the clutch. Could this be related?

Thanks, Dan.

yea most likely spigot bush most td5s suffer at some stage.

Gearbox out to change it...but wouldn't bother unless you plan to change the clutch and Dmf.

why would spigot bearing only make a noise in reverse

I know spigot bearings do make noise but this wouldn't this be forward and reverse ?

Mine does it in reverse too - and yes it's the spigot bush.

In my case it's because when I'm reversing, it's usually slowly and I'm slipping the clutch.

As Nidge says, it's a gearbox-out job to change it. Dave

Really? Can do them in about 5 hours by taking transfer box off then gearbox out.

It'll get worse but won't harm the car, have a few customers who have had this noise for years!

Not that I know of but next time I've got one to do at work I'll knock something up. Not a job I would even contemplate doing without a ramp and gearbox stand to be honest.

OK thanks - I'll make sure I do it when the clutch gives up or a similar 'opportunity' presents itself Thumbs Up

@Dan... is it practical to reverse out in low box??

Better low speed control and so little/no need to slip the clutch and potentially create the groan... Just a thought Smile Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.
