Wtf?!?!

K, so I get off work go out to my car. I start that car and wait, then as I'm reversing I hear a small clunking noise. I figure its nothing then I continue driving and notice it again.

This only happens when I'm about to let off of the clutch when switching gears. In all gears ... I'm so ******* paranoid.

Any ideas on what the noise is, it sounds like its coming from under my hood.

Its not the gears engaging .... I never heard this noise before.

when did you install the motor mount? is it loose at all? Mine made that type of sound when i didnt tighten the bolt to specs. May need to check that.

I did check the MM, I thought that was the problem too. No go ... still makes the noise.

I'm going to take it to the dealer tomorrow and see whats up, but I have a feeling they just suck at what they do so I want to see if I can fix it myself.

My car does the same thing. Its the CV joints. They click when the driveshafts engage to the wheels through the differential. I had an old 86 Jetta with a limited slip diff and it did the same click. If you listen real careful like, you'll hear it on both sides, one after another. I have a narrow driveway between two houses so everything is amplified, I can hear it real goodlike.

Upon further inspection it was my MM, I feel dumb ... lol

I got super paranoid super fast, I thought someone tried to brake into my car and ****** something up lol ....

Btw, did you (or anyone reading this) not lock-tight when they put there mount or inserts in? I couldn't find the tight, but still torqued to 80ft/lbs. Do I have to go back in there??

I wish I would have gotten a longer horizontal screw and put another bolt on the end of my trz, the bolt on the end was very crappy and I'm hoping it will hold up over time.
