Strange dragging noise from under the car
I was driving towards the West Gate bridge from the city when I could hear a reasonably loud dragging noise all the way over the bridge. Pulled off at williamstown road and I could hear the noise all the way till I stopped.
Jumped out to have a look underneath, the car and couldn't see or smell anything. Under the hood nothing. Took it for a test no noise. Got back on the freeway and it started again. Pulled over again, noisy till I stopped, looked for something again and nothing. Tested again, seemed ok. Drive 20kms now and it hasn't happened again.
WTF HAPPENED.......????????

All mud flaps good. Nothing physically dragging. Just sounds like it. With sort of ticking.

Checked disc brakes. Tyres, tail shaft. No idea what a serpentine belt is.
Would a problem in the transmission make these sorts of sounds. Dragging. Scraping. Grinding. Ticking sounds.
I remember the first time I stopped to check it out just before stopping there was a slight jolt in transmission before stopping. But it didn't happened the second time I stopped.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
