hey guys i was hearing this noise and always been hearing this noise never can fgure oit out, maybe u can help. when i step on teh gas pedal it makes this clanking noise for a cople seconds and sometime lil longer, this sound does not do it every single time thoguh it does it about 70% of the time when i first go to step on teh pedal it makes this clankign noise then goes away, until i press on teh gas agin. any ideas what it canbe?

thx guys

 

Where does it sound like it's coming from? Are there any thunks you feel, or any vibrations when this happens?

 

no clunks, no slams, i cants feel any vibratiuons at all, and and it soudns liek its comign like right in teh back on teh engine , maybe towards teh bottom. somewhere infront of me, or underme, but nothing in back of me.....just all in teh back of the engine area towards the bottom it sounds like., just when i step on teh gas sometimes.

is it possible it may be soem gears outta place or something?crankshaft maybe i dunno

thx for the reply

 

Just an idea your exsohast may be hitting something if your car has worn motor mount's the engien can be lifting & causing it to hit . Pop the hood and grab the throtle give it some gas and see if it make's the nosie . If it make's no kind of clank from anywhere you could have somekind of drive tran problem .

 

Could be a worn out transmission mount.

 

letr me add , it only does this when its in DRIVE, doesnt do it in park or anything, just in drive. when i step on teh gas sometimes.

 

That does sound like a bad trans mount to me.

 

how woudl a mount be casueing this clanking noise?

 

The tranny isn't attached to the chassis properly, and is 'banging' on what its supposed to be bolted to.

 

how do i make sure this is the part that needs to be replaced before i buy the part?

go to a shop?

 

Get that car off the ground and crawl under it and push up on the tranny . On the stanerd's I know that there is a rubber bushing with a bolt stiking out the bottom located tord the tail part of the tranny auto should be the same . The bolt go's throgh the cross mount . I hope this is your problem becuse it an easy fix . oh I forgot to say one time my tranny came losse from the bell but start with the mount .

 

i donyt understand what ur asking me to do. u want me to take the bolt out of the bushing? i dont understand what ur telling me to do.

 

When you get the car of the ground lay on your back and push up tord the tail ( By the drive shaft) leave the bolt in . If you can't move it put your jack under it an jack up a little at a time you will see the tranny lift .Then look at the mount to see if it is torn . It's a black square pice of rubber.

 

ok i got ya, ill just out it on ramps and jak the tranny up and se, thx guys

 

Oh Dont jack up too much you do not want to tare it . And your trann bolt's to the block not like the manual's check these bolt's to good insurence .

 

dont juak it up too hihg...and check teh bolt and teh rubber, gotcha , thx
