Possible Component Reference/Action
  • Clutch pack
  • VERIFY the condition. With the vehicle in cold start-up, MAKE SURE that the vehicle is in 2WD, to isolate the rear axle. TURN the wheel fully right (or fully left) and then ACCELERATE the vehicle. If the condition is verified to be in the rear axle, REMOVE and INSTALL new clutch packs.
