Dodge Viper Problems
Driveline Clunk on Acceleration/Deceleration is Normal
Some driveline clunk noted on acceleration and deceleration is considered normal.
Click or Pop Heard From Rear of Vehicle When Clutch Released
A single click or pop may be heard from the rear of the vehicle when the clutch is released. Our technicians tell us the repair involves installing matched hubs and yokes to the rear axle.
Water leak from between top and side curtains
A water leak may develop between the top and side curtains. There are updated right and left side rails available to correct this issue.
Noise from transmission when clutch is engaged and transmission in neutral
A light chatter or rattle or noise from the transmission may be noted with the clutch engaged and the transmission in neutral. Updating the transmission lubricant, SAE 75W will help but not eliminate it.
Wind noise or water leak from top of windshield frame
Wind noise and/or water leaks may be noted from the top of the windshield frame. Our technicians tell us that installing adjustable top latch handles should help to correct this problem.
