Just got done changing out factory spring with lowering springs in the front went to back up to turn the car around and back into the garage when half way up the driveway it just stop engaging but was still n gear just changed the clutch with a factory OEM replacement due to the wife is the one driving it. Also there is a steady double beeping sound going off inside the car and doesn't matter what u do it does not stop does anyone know what this problem could be?? Plz help!!

 

It is an 08 gd3 Manuel trans

 

Start the engine, Put it in a gear and let the clutch pedal out and rev it up like you are driving it.

What is the speedometer doing?

 

It's jumping up to 20mph and going back down

 

It's not a clutch problem. Did you do a clutch job at the same time as you did the lowering springs....or did the clutch job happen long before this?

If you only messed with the springs today....You pulled an axle out too far and the inboard joint has now separated....all completely inside the rubber boot if it hasn't been torn open now. Look to see if one inner CV cup is spinning but the rest of the axle is not.


Or an axle pulled out of the trans....but that's not likely if it's been driven around since the clutch was installed....pulling on struts and steering knuckles makes the situation of an inner joint getting pulled apart far more likely. One or both axles may be affected depending you what you did..

 

I did the clutch last month but also replaced the CV axles and they were in all the way I didn't even pull them any all I did was pull the strut and left everything else intact It wld still do that!?

 

I mean I'm kinda stuck right now due to the weather n all and it outside but I'm gonna get on it tmrw and will see Thanx for the info

 

But also why wld it be making the loud beeping snd
?

 

Yes.....when you tipped the steering knuckle to make some room to get the strut(s) in and out, it pulled the axle shaft....and pulling the shaft about 5-8cm out of the inboard CV joint cup is about all it takes to cause the failure.

Good luck. Maybe you can get the axle replaced under warranty?
HTH

 

Buckle up for safety.

 

Well i just now got to mess with it again and cv axels are intact and i can change gears without even engaging the clutch at all bout to tear into it some more if any ideas plz let me know

 

No it wasnt the seatbelt buzzer it was also going off this was entirely different and louder than the seatbelt buzzer!

 

For the record i am very mechanically inclined! Just putting that out there so u know u dont have to put it in dummy form! Lol

 

Well you said the speedometer still goes up so that means everything inside the trans is still intact and turning all the way to the differential, the differential drives the VSS so it's all spinning.........so the problem would seem to be isolated to between the trans and an axle, one axle or the other. The most likely places for the failure is at one (or both) of the inner CV joints.


The seat belt beeper is the only one i could think of that beeps a few times then waits for several seconds before beeping again, and it probably only does this while there is a vehicle speed input from the VSS. (going from memory here)

 

Thank you i will keep you updated
