2000 Corvette coupe 115k miles

no codes, no perceived power loss.

medium to hard acceleration I feel/hear thumping on the floor/ in the pedals.

It only happens during acceleration, no difference clutch out/in, transmission in/out of gear. Obviously you cant accelerate unless in gear with clutch engaged.


I have three potential options in my head:

1. Rubber Couplers

2. Motor Mounts

3. Clutch

Anyone experience this?

I haven't experienced that, but it sounds to me like something related to the torque tube. Possibly the bushings needing replaced.

I am pretty sure the bushings are the culprit now. It vibrates when revved in neutral no vibration when revved with clutch depressed.

So.... any one have a shop they use/trust in the Phoenix metro area?
