anyone else have the 4/5th gear clunk?

When you're cruising at usually any rpm level in 4th or 5th, let off the gas and no matter how slowly you get back on it, the car just bucks, and clunks like crazy. It seems more pronounced since I added my tb and plenum a few months back but didn't let it get to me.

Thanks for any help!

i do. its just the sloppy drivetrain.. after i installed my cams it was about 5x worse.

I've never noticed it. I'll have to try it out on the highway



I RARELY use 5th gear at all. It's just way too low on the 03+ GT's w/stock gearing. I usually need to be around 70-75MPH before shifting to 5th

Damn that sucks. So what would help alleviate this problem? New driveshaft, new ujoints maybe?

Just tried it out. No clunk for me.

I get it too if I let off or jump on it too quick.

I hate when i'm creeping along in traffic and kick the clutch in fast for a stop or something. The driveline comes off load and makes a back and forth clatter that i hate

I usually try to ease on the clutch slowly rather than kick it in fast, but sometimes i don't have a choice
