i have an 87 base 5 speed. im having a big problem. it started about 2 days ago everytime i shift fast or moderatley fast i hear a thump in my rear wheels/ also this happens when i downshift or jerk the car/ i keep hearing a thump i have no power loss. i was wondering what it could be. my tires are fine and the tread is good. its just pissing me off. please dont tell me its the tranny.

peace red
