What you're hearing is the retarded amount of slack ford sets into the rear end at the factory. It may be "normal" because most mustangs have it, but it is also retarded. It can make the car sound like there's something wrong with it, and I believe it can lead to drive line problems in the long run.edcar01gt said:it sounds like its coming from where the driveshaft goes into the tranny or the rear end..what could it be...it was making the sound even before i got my tranny rebuilt....u joints bad? am i suppose to be avle to move the driveshaft by hand...it moves like a 1/4 when it move it...btw, its automatic...

Luckily, there is a way to correct the idiotic ford settings: go get yourself a set of 3.73's or 4.10's. Have a reputable speed shop install them, and make sure you tell them to set the rear end at the tightest possible setting because you don't want anymore slop in the drive shaft (it's called backlash I think). Pretty sure the setting to ask for is 0.08. Now your car won't sound like the drive line is about fall off, and you got yourself a steeper set of gears in the process.
Then I'd just like to point out the fact that I'm retarded for not reading your signatureedcar01gt said:already got 4.10's...the car makes the clunk when im slowing down...when i first got the gears installed about 1 yr ago it was fine...it started doing this about 3 mos ago...its just really getting annoyng now..
