Odd one....
When braking and the box is downshifting from 2nd to 1st as you come to a halt it is as if the Gearbox isn't 'letting go' similar to if you are coming to a halt in a manual and forgot to press the clutch until the last minute and then the engine revs drop then stutter back to idle again....
It doesn't do it all the time, only occasionally, but once it has done it it will continue to do so until you switch off and it has cooled down for an hour or so!
As I say it is as if the clutch isn't slipping until the engine revs drop then they stutter, the gearbox 'releases' and the revs pick up and back to idle....
Also when braking and you have the windows open you can hear a click from under the car fairly central....not a menacing click, just a mechanical click....doesn't make this click when crawling, only above 10mph or so....
Any clues as I'm stumped.
PS: only starts doing it after a moderate to hefty braking situation i.e. braking downhill to a set of traffic lights....from then on each braking moment to a halt causes it, unless you lift off the brakes a tad to reduce retardation until you come to a halt....
