slack in drivetrain, cant be transmission?
i guess i have some looseness, play, slack in the drivetrain. aredub drove my car so maybe he can better describe this. my transmission is brand new so that cant be it right? it is like you hit the gas and speed up to about 5-10mph and when you let of the gas you hear like a clunk or something disengaging. it doesnt do it all the time but the frequency is often. aredub help me describe this a little better. eddycat please feel free to provide your expertise.

I'll do my best, Leo. It's the old "give 'er gas, let off, clack, clack" sound. If I was in my old Fairlaine, I'd say she needed U-joints. I haven't (and don't want to have) studied the intracacies of the SVX drivetrain enough to know what that sound means to all that hardware on the belly of our beasties. And just for the record, Leo's car is FWD. Oh, and Leo, you might want to try posting this in eddy's "just the facts" thread.

well thanks for replying eddy.
i am sure the spare is tied down because i just recently put it back in there myself. i recently replaced my cv axles so i know it is not that, of course my springs and struts are brand new. my struts mounts are not cracked. i will have the tranny mounts checked. i guess i can take it to the dreaded subaru dealership and let them give it a once over. could it be the brake-band in the transmission? maybe it has too much slack? if they can not tell me anything definitive then the hell with it, i will just let the damn thing break and then pick up the pieces.

yo eddy.....
for future reference, to add to your archives, when someone reports of a clunking sound upon deceleration it is most likely a mount: sub frame, engine, or transmission. when i have the repair done i will give you specifics in regards to which mount it was exactly.

i understand.
but sometimes speculation is at least a start and may lead to the answer. in this case i do believe it is a tranny mount. but i will find out for sure this week.
