small clunk
I have a small clunk anytime i'm in gear at a moderate rpm's and i blip the throttle ... U-joint? I don't think i've heard the same noise from other manual tranny vettes. Would that be covered under my warranty ? :)

Re: small clunk (GlockLT4)
If a slight acceleration or decrease in speed causes a clunk, then it sounds like slop in a u-joint(s). Put the car up on jack stands (safely) and you can check it by hand underneath.

yup... but if it's covered by warranty, then I'll just take it in.

Re: small clunk (ittlfly)
It depends on the warranty that you have. My u-joints weren't covered by mine. It should say exactly what's covered in your warranty paperwork. If not, just call them and ask 'em. :cheers:

Re: small clunk (castivers)
yeah .. drive shaft are easy... half shafts aren't so easy.
BTW, i'm pretty sure that I do have a U-joint out because i have a vibration at 75mph that I thought was related to a wheel out of balance, but if it's making a small clunk AND it's got a vibration, that sounds like the culprit. :yesnod:
