When I'm on the freeway and I'm in 5th going about 60 mph I give the gas a little tap and I can feel likea clunk , but only when I give the gas pedal a tap. On the freeway sometimes the vibration is really bad and sometimes it dies down a little. I'm going to be checking the car today. I know it's somewhere In the drivetrain because only the transmission vibrates.<br /><br />I will check u joints, driveshaft, rear wheels, and if everything checks out I might remove the tranny and check the flywheel. <br /><br />Another note is the guy that had it before me drove the car over a sidewalk, messed up the rear quarter panels a little and the car is lowered , don't know if this can help but I feel like he might of bent something .<br /><br />Ill keep the thread updated but any help and tips would be appreciated. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>El komander</b> <br /><small>Member # 10751</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2013,9,12,11,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Check your driveshaft bolts!

I thought at first something in the hatch was rattling but its coming from the rear end.
