I had a similar problem several years ago. I have a 61 Mk II with a 1275, cam,
balanced, lightened flywheel ported and polished head (I'm including this
detail to entertain Captain Bob or as freD would spell it "Bob"), ribcase,3.9
rear, wire wheels,(with new splined hubs).
Each time I put it in reverse and backed-out of the garage (I guess that's the
only way you can back a car out the garage.) I would hear a clunk, clunk. I
couldn't figure it out. This went on for weeks.
Finally, Celeste said something to me one day that solved not one but two
problems. She asked: "Have you seen the cat?" :-/ I looked out in the driveway
and responded to her "Yes I have."
