Hey all,
I've been noticing an increasing thump in the car a few moments after ANY gear change, most notibly when changing from park and into reverse. We all know how horrible the auto is in the Focus and certainlly, without a handbrake, I'm sure there has been an increase in wear from sitting on my steep driveway simply sitting in park. This has led me to believe that the issue was the Transmission. However my car come back from the repairs the other day (finally got all the susspension repaired after an accident in Sydney) and apon returning the car to me, the repairer said to me that there was a knock in the CV Joints. The repairer is obviolsy talking about the same knock I'm talking about and I doubt he has had a look at it anymore than I have. However I'm beginning to question which of the 2 the issue really is. Is it the Transmission or is it the CV Joints. Althrough I've heard the terminology plenty of times before, I don't really know what the CV Joints are or what they do, so I was hoping that someone out there in forumland could help me identify this issue?
