    What is the sign of a worn guibo@flex disc@driveshaft coupling?

    What is the sign of a worn guibo@flex disc@driveshaft coupling?

    I drive an automatic 318i 1988 UK model.

    I have had problems with clunking noise at low speeds when
    accelarating and sometimes when coming to an abrupt stop.

    I love my E30 and have replaced the driveshaft,center bearing,subframe
    bushes and trailing arm bushes.The noises have reduced and handling
    improved but I just cant get rid of this clunking.

    Could it be the guibo@flex disc@driveshaft coupling?

    Thanks.

    If you can get underneath your car, or get it up in the air, look at the
    rubber disc that connects the transmission to the driveshaft. If it's solid,
    and doesn't show any wear signs, you're ok. If it's got strings peeling off
    of it, or if it's cracked, get it replaced as soon as possible. I had and
    E36 3-series come in on a tow truck because that disk broke and the
    driveshaft ripped through the floor of the car. Not a cheap repair....

    If you've had the driveshaft replaced they should have replaced the
    guibo joint. Is the clunking occuring at gear changes, or is it just
    continuosly as your driving? If it's at gear changes the rear dif fluid
    could be low or it may need to be looked at.
