Letting off the accelerator, or stepping on it, sends shudder through my whole car, an 87 NA MT. Recently, when letting of the accelerator, I’m hearing a thumping/clumping type noise (like two things are bagging into each other). The engine & tranny mounts are new. Any idea?

PS The thumping starting right after I had the rear of car jacked up for a few days to change the rear brake pads. (It took a few days because the lock pin bolt broke.)

 

broken front diff mount?

 

Sounds like it to me. Mine's the same; new mount goes in on the weekend, along with an FD LSD.

 

yeah i concur i got the same problem. I decelerate and i hear it bucking in the back. Like if its banging and my whole hatch is shaking lol.

I think its the diff mounts which one i dunnno yet. Have to go and see how it looks

Thanks. I'm going to check the mounts again.

 

I hear a VERY loud bang which sounds like two heavy metal pieces hitting each other in between shifts if I dont do it slowly... I had feared some issue with the diff or something but I guess me shifting slowly may just prevent the diff from hitting its mount hard thus me not hearing it...

I guess I need to go look around and see if its a diff mount... thats alot less serious then I was expecting... I sure hope thats it.

 

Don't let it bang too much, or you're gonna see a diff from inside the car.

 

explain...
what will fix the problem...

 

New front diff mount. I though we just covered that...
