Ratchet from the right front wheel S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Phoenix on  Wed Mar 14 12:15 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My V40 has 23,000 and has recently starting to make a ratchet noise when I back out of the driveway in the morning (vehicle drive train is cold) and shift into drive from reverse. Then when I slowly accelerate, it ratchets slightly again, then warms up and doesn't do it until the next morning.

Sound is definitely coming from the right front, (transaxle?) and sounds like a quick 4 or 5 click ratchet, almost like gears are grinding - very strange.

Otherwise, no other problems to date, except for three headlamp bulbs replaced already, last one was under warranty! Don't ask me why.

Jim
