The problem started about a month ago, I was running about 35 mph in 4th gear and needed to change lanes quickly and geared down into 2nd gear a let the clutch out rather quickly and heard the loud bang come from the drive shaft and differential area. Every since then if I maintain a load on the drive line there is not a problem, but when I engage the clutch to change gears (releasing the load) and then release the clutch (engaging the load) I hear a simuliar bang or knock in the driveline. If I have it in gear, let off the gas and then get back on the gas I hear it as well. It only happens when loading or unloading the driveline.
To give you an idea of the condition and maintainance on the car: I just recently replace the clutch (with 135,000 orginial miles on it) and the suspension with a PSS9 kit, new mounting hardware, new guibo. It has 145,000 miles on it now and I take care of the car and rearly drive it hard. I have never even taking the car to an indy, it has always been serviced by my local dealer from day one, because I want to make sure it receives the best. They even install the PSS9 kit.
I have the beastmaster sway bar brackets, so it's not that common issue.
Could this be an issue with the subframe? Bushings? Bearings? Tranny mounts?
Is there a way I can tell prior to taking it to the dealer for the repair?
Thanks.
