I down shifted from 6th to 5th doing about 70 and pedal to the metal . To pass some cars and then back to 6th . A sort of clunk sound from the rear as I down shifted. Don't notice it as much on the up shift . Is that normal .

 

Without hearing and feeling it, it could be the suspension or mabe the exhaust moving around, sure hope its not something in the rear end itself.

 

I know couple people with 6sps and having problems with trans already. One had to have trans replaced dropped 4th gear[:@]

 

[] How is it acting going thru normal cycling thru the gears? How does it act with more rpm,s and more aggressive action? Put it in about 4th. gear at a steady cruise.and then let off the gas,and then go back to a steady cruise,is there any jerking action like excessive backlash in the rear diff? [] Man,with all the problems I have been hearing about like flimsy body panels,etc.,maybe I should get a Camaro![&:]

 

I tried it several time's today . Shifted faster down to 5th and pedal to the floor. No clunk . Even down to 4th once and was ok . I must of sort of whip lashed it by not hitting the throttle enough. It is ok on all the up shift's . But if I didn't know better I'd think the clutch is slipping in 2nd some time. Seem's like too many rev's for the mph climb. May just be me. I'm sort of wondering if a motor mount could be broke. Had that happen in a 66 Plymouth 4 speed. And some simular thing's happened till found that was the problem. Burnt up two Hemi clutch's before the dealer told me .

 

Could be the Posi grabbing, thats what it sounds like to me

 

Put in in gear and with your foot on the brake,load the clutch a little while some one is watching a see if you get any motor movement. If you are not releasing the clutch quick and dragging out your shifts when your on it,you may be slipping your clutch.

 

I'll get one of my Hot Rod friend's to check for engine movement the next time I get a chance. I've had the Hill Start assist hold the car when I let the clutch out too fast on a small grade at a stop light. And had to clutch it real fast. I'm going to have to figure out how to shut that down. I'm used to a stick on a hill . And don't need some computer controling it. I'm just wondering if that has damaged something in the drive line .

 

I sure hope not,but in case you did,won,t the l/time warranty cover it?

 

Look in your owners book and there is a way to shut the hill asssist off. I did it and I like it much better. It was driving me crazy or at least finishing me off
