Noise on Super 8 1937

from Ty Terblanche fo South Africa on his 37 Super Eight issue.

Hello Sandy
I have another Packard problem that you can maybe help me solve.


The car has had a heavy "klonk" sound for some time when pulling off, also when when changing from top to second to "brake".



It seems to be at my feet. The propshaft has been taken out TWICE and balanced once and proclaimed "fit", but still the klonk. Finally some mounting brackets on or near the gearbox were removed and revulcanised (or at least rerubbered). The noice was much better but is now back as lound as it was.



Attached is a pic of the car when I was restoring it and a mount of the gearbox can just be seen next to the clutch pedal. Also, two inserts from the Steel Rubber catalogue showing mountings used on the '37 Super. Do you have any suggestions or any experience of this type of problem before?



Thanks
ty

Sounds like universals to me what do you guys think
