"Thump" while shifting?
Just checking to see if anyone else has this.
Typically it happens between 2-3-4 gears. Clutch all the way in and as the shifter is moved I can hear and feel a very faint "thump", as if it's actually coming from the linkages possibly.
I'm not really worried since the driveability seems to remain the same, but it is something I noticed today.
Anyone?
Since I'm here I'll mention the "other odd thump". I typically notice when I leave my parking spot in my complex. I always back-in to my spot. Whenever I leave, when the clutch is let all the way out and I just start to roll, there is a very faint thump that "feels" like it's coming from the front. I"ve tried to duplicate this in an empty parking lot; reverse for a short distance then forward but it doens't happen. Only seems to happen when I leave my parking spot.
Ideas?
