Popping sound when I really slam the gears like I said. I have a stock t-5 supposed to have brand new synchros and the works. I cant tell if its popping from the transmission or the rear, the rear does need fluid, does that have anything to do with it? Also the trans mount looks a little worn, could that make its pop?

If it was the tranny mount, you would feel the pop on the transmission tunnel.
The U joints are on the driveshaft connecting to the differential.

I never heard a diff low on oil pop unless it blew up. If the diff were low on oil I would assume you would hear a whining noise.
