Okay guys what do you think, I have a 2001 camaro ss A4 44k miles and I drive the car almost everyday. A month back or so I had it down in first and didnt have the music on I pulled out of the gas station and punched it, it hooked up and made this Noice a pretty loud thud in the back. so I tried to pin point the noice by getting on and off of it couldnt quite figure it out. went under the car and all bushing look good the tranny mount bushing is cracked some but didnt look horrible. Im not loosing and performance but I know my car and something just doesnt feel right when leaving from a stop, even when not getting on it, it still feels like something is shifting and I have feel it thur the seat. I can't figure out whats going on.

I noticed the same thing on my 95 Z M6 73k, it just started it a few days ago. Doesn't matter if its fast or slow take offs its random for mine. I did a quick look over and couldn't fine anything.

If the tranny mount is cracked, I'd start with replacing that.

Thats where im going to start the mount, but I just dont see how that one thing could be causing what im hearing/feeling being that its not cracked real bad but all the same it does have to have a big grunt so we shall see if that fixes the problem.

Did you check the U-Joints.

No I want to get the car on a life and have it get a good once over on the underside just havent go to a shop to have it done.

In addition check the torque arm bushing that is connected to the tail cone of the tranny. If it is worn or the bolt is loose it will move and make all kinds of noise.

My vote is the same as Walt.

Might be a good time to invest in a complete poly bushing kit.
