Weird "clunk" when in gear and off the throttle
Hello,
Curious situation here, prominently I notice this in 5th gear, however I would have to check again for the other gears.
If I am coasting, about 30 seconds after letting my foot off the gas, the car will sort of "surge" or "jerk" a bit as the engine speed is slowing down.
Only happens when in gear and coasting.
I have a tunnel mounted torque arm at the moment.
Any idea what the problem could be here?

DFCO (decel fuel cut off) is just that. On long decels from speed the ECM cuts the fuel to the engine. Then as the vehicle slows along with the engine slowing fuel is resumed. It is at this point the drive line can jerk. More so on a modified vehicle.
