pop and jerk when floored in low??
I have an 84 z28 i just picked up.
Car is running out really well,but just noticed that if
you put it in low gear and floor the gas pedal from
dead stop there is a pretty loud pop coming from under
the car between the rear and the transmission.
I have only done it once so i can't tell the exact location
but I can feel it with my hand on the console.
Any ideas what this could be?
I really don't know anymore than I am telling,but
It kinda feels like something may be loose and when
it gets in a bind it slaps against something else?
I think the car has positive traction from the way
it feels,but can't be sure.
I hate to keep asking so many questions,but I am just
getting the 3rd. generation bug and haven't had these
problems before.
I am also the guy asking about swapping the 89 automatic
steer column to a 92 5-speed?
I don't really know what board to post this to,so i will try here.
I have a 92 5-speed v8.
Can I take a steering column out of an 89 automatic and swap it to my 92 5-speed?
I will also have to change out the key portion of the switch.
The key is missing from the 89,so i was just gonna use my key part of the 92 column.
Will this all work ok in my 1992 camaro?
I was not sure where to post this question so I will post it here and there,everywhere?
Thank you all for the help.
I am really getting down in the dumps over not being able to drive my stick shift.
It is my favorite car and I keep having bad luck with it.
Thanks for any info on this swap,
jd

Re: pop and jerk when floored in low??
I am by no means an expert. However, I would guess that it is a worn tranny or torque arm bushing.

yep, check the tranny mount, the noise you could be hearing is the tranny hitting the floor. Thats what it was on mine.

Re: pop and jerk when floored in low??
thanks for the info.
that's got to be the problem.
describes it to a tee.
i will get it on the lift asap.
get it repaired and move onto to the next
problem.

if it ain't one,it's another but it runs fine.
thanks again,
jd

Very worn, or a broken trans mount.
