Yesterday i got in my bird and once i got to about 25-30mph,I heard a nasty thunk, and now everytime i let off the gas or give the gas a push it pops and etc. If I keep barely on the gas at a steady pressure, it makes no noise, unless i hit a bump, almost seems like a U-joint to me, and my front one has just a little play in it. Does this seem right? Also, could it be the trans mount? almost feels like somethin is slapping the bottom of the car, I just am hoping its not the tranny. Also, with the driveshaft out of the car, the tranny doesn't make a sound in gear or shifting.

 

trans mount is a likely suspect followed by u joints. if you know you have play in a u joint now would be the time to replace it not later.

 

Thanx Ede, I just got back from dropping my driveshaft off at the driveline shop. Getting 2 new joints, and a yoke if needed. As far as the tranny, as I was saying with the driveshaft out it is fine when runing, I can even shift through gears at any time without pushing the clutch. Is this normal? Normally when I run the car(driveshaft in) the trans grinds into 2nd, without the shaft in it shifts just fine, is this just beacuse theres no pressure on the trans?

 

Found the prob!!! Top bolt for torque arm bushing actualy fell out and the torque arm came out. Hopefully my rearend is ok now. Seems to drive fine.
