Put my +8 on the road after winter layup checked everything first and the clutch plate was stuck did all the normal things to free it ended up jacking up and running it and applying clutch and brakes at same time eventually it released, when I took it on the road and made a right hand turn I got a load bang from the rear my wife thought it came from her side I was of the impression it came from my side took her home (that’s the car).
Spoke to a few people who say it happens a lot with older +8’s mines a 1974 sticking clutch I was told changed the oil and put a additive in took her out again she was still knocking during right hand turns mainly but getting less as I went and sometimes seemed to bind.
Spoke to a classic car mechanic local he thought it may be a twisted or broken half shaft so I checked that out both ok they are still out, I’ve never had anything to do with limited slip diffs ? So don’t know weather to remove the cover and inspect won’t know what I’m looking for other than something broken, or put back together and run to see if the sticking clutch releases over time.
Any advice would be appreciated.
