so I tested out my new clutch and flywheel set up today and when I shift from first to second I hear a clunk and it feels like the wheels are hopping. I know that its somewhat normal, but if I lower my suspension will it fix it?

now I have a wierd knocking noise comming from ( I think ) the left front wheel, every time I accelerate in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. and it does it no matter if im going straight or turning, but only when I press the gas down like halfways so that the car somewhat jerks foward.

when looking through the forums and google, I think it is the cv joint. but im not sure any help anyone?

 

well i tried to check the cv joints and the boots are not ripped and there is no oil leaking from them. so I tried seeing if it made the same noise in reverse and it didn't, but the weird thing is the noise went away until I gave it one hard shift and then returned. the noise went away again when I tried to test it in reverse again. the car also slightly veers to the left when I let the steering wheel go. i dont know what to do, any help anyone?

 

i just did my clutch and my shit is doing somethin similar, but my cv boot was actually dry. i'm sure thats not what is making the noise so i'm intrested to hear what you find.

 

well im taking the car to the transmission shop where i got the clutch/flywheel installed and they are going to diagnose it for free so ill keep ya updated.

 

Sounds like you may have a bad motor or tranny mount and it could even be a bad suspension bushing, everytime you bang a gear they take alot of stress and move qutie a bit so if one is weak it will cause the mount or bushing to bottom out causing a bang, the whell hop is normal for our cars and even worse when it is lowered.

 

i could be wrong but-... you might be a good candidate for traction bars.

 

I actually have a similar problem with my tib except its all around and only when I hit pot holes and such. I believe it may be due to dry joints and a combination of suspension bushings. Only problem is I havnt had the time to drill in greese fittings nor put the tib up on stands and take a looksey. Ill let ya know what If I can find the time to get to work on her.

 

sounds like a loose motor mount to me.
