Arcteryx Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 So I've only noticed this recently, but whenever I accelerate hard, I can hear a pretty loud *thwack* that sounds like it's coming from right in front of me, close to the bottom of the windshield. My best guess is that it's the pitch mount moving with the engine. Anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boniemlee Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Im having the same issue with mines. Under hard acceleration only in 1st gear i can hear a intermediate clunk sound for about a split second right around when the turbo kicks in. Kind of sounds like something is loose. Mines is a 5eat with about 160k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compsurge Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Check your pitch stop - it could be loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your pitch stop - it could be loose. I'll be replacing it with a Perrin one this month; I'll report back if that fixes the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Do you have an aftermarket intercooler? If you have an IPR or Perrin and didn't shim above the clutch master cylinder, it could be hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcteryx Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Do you have an aftermarket intercooler? If you have an IPR or Perrin and didn't shim above the clutch master cylinder, it could be hitting. Nope, stock. Picked up a Perrin pitch mount today - I'll install it this weekend and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoRoadtrippin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I bet I have more Arc'teryx clothing than you. Unless you're like a rep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
