Padgett Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Am getting a clunk when I get on or back off, mainly in lower gears. Sounds like it is coming from about the rear of the console. Is this something common with a manual trans ? Simple fix ? Quote
Schurkey Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 From the REAR of the console? I'd be looking for missing exhaust hangers or otherwise damaged exhaust pipe(s) An alternative is that the sound originates in a certain place, but presents acoustically "somewhere else" due to reflection or conductance/resonance through the body.

Imp558 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 The trailing arm mounts have a tendency to rip loose and clatter, theoretically if the passenger side one was clattering it would come from that direction. Quote

Padgett Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 This car is completely rust free. Really. It does have a Magnaflow exhaust which may be screwed up, suppose I should raise it up and see if anything is shiny. Just wondered if something was common. Quote
