kwiktsi said:Mine does it too- it makes a clunking sound if I shift too early. Every RWD 5-6 speed car I have ever owned has done it. I was hoping the GTO would be "tighter", but it does it also. I'm not worried about it. The only thing that sucks for me is I drive 3 different manual cars a week, so whenever I drive the GTO- I can't get the clutch and throttle timing perfect on the 1-2 upshift for the first few miles, so the clunk is pretty common to me lol. After a little while of driving it and getting used to it again, it is pretty quiet.

Does it to mine when upshifting. I've learned to start clutching, just slightly, before I actually get off the gas pedal...if I do that it never makes the noises.GotYurGoat said:sometimes when i shift too early or the rpms drop a little further than i want, i hear somehwhat of a clanking noise. it's not a problem. my 91 camaro rs 350 5 spd did the same thing and i had all brand new mounts. it's just all that torque making the drivetrain move. it almost sounds like the tranny mount is broke and it hopping everything up and making it hit the well of the floorboard...although that is not the case. i would say mine does it rarely. it just depends on when and how you engage the clutch on your upshift.
If you are talking about drivetrain slack noise, it is normal.gage said:Does anyone else sometimes hear the transmission engage (i think in the back around the rear) when you are shifting? for me its usually the 2nd to 3rd shift since i do a gasless upshift cuz the revs drop.
I always throw mine in neutral when I'm coming to a stop. If I'm going fast, I hear nothing, but if I'm in 1st, I hear a clunking noise. I don't hear the clunk if I apply the clutch slightly before I get off the gas.Robertr2000 said:It's not up shift for me at all. It's when I'm slowing down, or slowing down to stop and then pull the stick out of 2nd or out of 1st, it's a "disengaging Clunking" sound and then kind of a clunking echo. It's not ugly BAD, just highly annoying :confused
