ive been getting a sparatic clanking noise while my gt idles. this happens every time the car is sitting idleing. i didnt think it was a major concern so i never posted about it.

it started after my cams heads and l/t so i thought it was just the mods shaking things around. it feels drivetrain related. noise sounds like it is comming from the shifter. also seems more notchy to shift lately.

i also noticed when i hear the clank i can feel it when my foot is pressing the brakes.

what do you guys think. could this be tanny mounts or somthing like that?

thanks!
 
I would guess it's the longtubes rattling **** around under there. Maybe once they get hot, stuff around them loosens up or something and starts to move.. :shrug:
 
well, they dont have to be hot for it to happen. it starts happening as soon as i start the car and let idle. its not a timed clank just once every couple pulses of the exhaust. i thought it was the headers hitting the underbody of the car cause its close on the pass side but i would think that would be a more timed clank.

i dont feel anything in the break or hear anything while on the gas driving. just hear and feel at idel. :shrug: any other ideas? it could be the headers, i dont know.
