  • What's causing this clunk?

    My rear main seal and tranny seal are both leaking, not really bad but enough to notice when underneath the car and i was planning on getting it fixed soon. But today on my way home from work it sounded like my drive shaft was slamming up and down. Is this possible? The only weird thing about this is that the last time i heard this was when I was raining hard, just like today. Dose any of this sound right?

            Could it be your transmission? I had a similar experience but the clunking was actually my transmission mount that was shattered and my transmission was making the sound sometimes when it shifted. LOL

              Do you have posi? 99's and newer posi's are torsen units, and mine clunks like a mother. It happens mainly when slowing down or getting back into the gas after a turn. I had it looked at by some tranny/rear end specialists, and they said it's normal. If you can rule out a u-joint, a suspension component (like torque arm), or tranny, then I wouldn't worry about it too much.

                      Im having the same problem. And I have had my car on a lift with the tires spinning in 5th gear probably at about 30mph, and I cant see anything. Of course just my luck it wont do it on the lift, only when Im driving. But mine is a REALLY loud clunk, sounding like it is hitting the floorboard. I think it is my stock 2 peice driveshaft. But anyways, I am getting it looked at. I hope I can have it looked at. It is starting to REALLY get annoying. Thanks,
