Hi BCFers --
I am new to the forum and would appreciate some help.
While rounding a corner fairly aggressively last week, I heard a distinct "thunk" from under the car. I immediately slowed and pulled over but when I disengaged the clutch to stop, there was more clunking, this time in a regular rhythm.
I carefully shifted into 1st and released the clutch and everything seemed okay; but when I operated the clutch to shift the clunking started again. It stopped while going through neutral but again clunked briefly before I released the clutch pedal again in 2nd. Same thing into 3rd and 4th, although the clunking sped up as the gearing increased. The car otherwise drives normally.
The noise does not occur when in neutral or when the clutch is engaged. Engaging the overdrive makes no difference. There is nothing visually wrong under the car. The driveshaft U-joints look and feel tight; the transmission oil level is good and the clutch is adjusted properly. I have a recording of the noise, which I could not figure out how to attach to this post but would be happy to email. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
