Hey, haven't posted in a long time, but I'm stumped...I have a 2002 Gt and have a major problem. I have a horrible clunk type sound in the drivetain...everytime I get on the gas, especially in a higher gear, the car also rocks back and forth and makes the same sound with it when I'm just cruising in first or 2nd, and the diff is screaming more and more. It almost sounds like my driveshaft is coming out and smashing back in. when the clutch isn't engaged i can hear a chatter or knock or something...and when it is engaged I can hear a squeal that im pretty sure is the throwout bearing.

Is it possible that just my clutch is chattering or disengaging or could it be the diff? My u-joints are fine I checked them. Its getting rather annoying to drive and its really choppy and rough...I'm going to replace the clutch soon when I do the throwout bearing will that help? I dont know if i need to get the rear gears done as well or if its something else. Its getting worse and I can't seem to find anyone at the shops around here that knows exactly what it is. Any help or suggestions would be great, and if it is the rear gears anybody know a shop in the D.C. area that isn't bad?
Thanks,
Greg
 
Sounds to me like you may have more than one problem.

If your rear end is making noise, then you need to take care of that by putting in new gears and rebuild kit.

Second, it sounds like you have a bad pilot bearing. Replace that when you do the clutch. It's what holds the input shaft of the transmission dead center of the flywheel, or rear of the crankshaft.

Good luck with it bub.
