When i'm driving my car and for instance in 3rd gear and i tap on my gas and let off real fast my tranny makes a rattleing noise. It sounds like my tranny is falling apart inside or something. I don't think this is normal. I get an extreme amount of clutch chatter. I installed a slp clutch about 6,000 miles ago. My friend said i'm supposed to retighten all the bolts. But I have never got back under the car to re-tighten my bolts. So do you think this could be the problem and my tranny is just really loose. The problem seems to be getting worse. What else do you think it could be? It does it all the time. I haven't been able to get under the car and look at it because my friend has had my jackstands under his car for a month now. But we should be done with his clutch install tomarrow. So i'll be getting it back. Any suggestions on what it could be would be helpfull since the car being like this is makeing me wish i never bought it. My dash has just started to rattle really bad this week also but that isn't as much as a priority to fix then my tranny noise is though.

 

Possibly could be the u-joints gone bad on you.

 

where are the U-joints located? The transmission also sort of makes the same sound an airplane makes when it takes off when i press on the gas. The noise of course is very slight but thats the best way i could describe the sound of the noise.

 

sounds like the rear end is clunking/whining

 

but it sounds like it is coming from the transmission.

 

does this happen mainly when you gear change? mine made some sort of a slight grinding noise when i engaged into 3rd gear but it went away and came back a few times

 

no its not that type of noise. I could have the car in 3rd gear and just tap on the gas back and fourth and it will sound like the whole transmission is rocking around under the car.

 

Could be simply a broken trans mount.

 

agreed, sounds like tranny mount

 

I have a energy suspension tranny mount already on there.

 

Doesnt mean that the tranny mount is not broken. The U-Joints are what connect the drive shat to the tranny and to the rear end. Leave the car off and in gear, and twist the DS... if the u-joints are bad... you will know it.

 

Yeah you are right but it would be very hard to brake one of those mounts. I will try what you said with the u-joints. I'm gonna get under it tomarrow and see what i can figure out. I'll let you know what i find.

 

Well i got under the car and coudn't find much. Am i supposed to be able to shake the driveshaft up and down a little bit? Also when i spin the driveshaft it sounds like something it rattleing inside my transmission. But like i said i can move the driveshaft up and down a little so maybe that is the problem if that isn't normal. What do you guys think?
