My GT2 always made a clicking / clunking sound when going in reverse with the steering wheel turned and if going forward from a standstill with the steering wheel turned. But only when I release the clutch to start moving.
Is this normal ?
My car is a 2003 GT2 with about 13,000 miles now and it has been doing it since day 1 (7,500 miles ago). When I asked the dealership 2 years ago, they said the sound was coming from the LSD and it was normal.
I just want to get a second opinion and to clear my head, Is this actually normal ?

The car runs perfect but the noise is a bit embarrasing. I am just not sure if these cars were designed to make clunking sounds like this..

 

aftermarket LSD's do this and it's normal. not sure about OEM system, but wouldn't see why not.

 

Mine occasionally makes this same noise, although only in reverse. I have the OEM LSD.

 

Jeez... mine sounds like it wants to come out the box, especially after a 25/30min session on the track (heat generated) but I run the RSR diff

 

My 90% plated ZF did the same. Not on a 911 but same principal.
TBD's dont though. They are very smooth in operation.

 

I have experienced this as well and its normal.

 

Thanks for the info !
Now I can clear my head and know for sure this is normal..

 

I was told LSD gears has larger space for expansion when it gets hot therefore you hear this noise.

 

While the noise is "normal" you might want to determine if your LSD is actually working...

How can I determine if its working ?

 

If you read the thread I linked, you'll see the details of what to look for on a failed LSD.

 

Got it.. Great thread ! Now I will definately jack up the car and check.. Thanks.. I also enjoyed watching the track videos..
