Since I got my vette last year I noticed that when I am shifting up in the gears I sometimes hear a clunk sound. It happens when I step onm the clutch to shift gears. It doesn't feel like it has anything to do with the transmission.
To me, it sounds like its either coming from the exhaust or underneath the car. I cant really trell though because I am in the car.
I thought maybe it was beacause I was shifting at first that maybe it was kind of a back fire through the side pipes. I have never had a 4 speed with an nearly open exhaust like the one I currently have. I thought maybe it is like what you see when an Indycar is excelerating and the pop a little when going through the gears.
I have also done enough searches on here to see it could also be the snubber bushing. I have a friend coming over tonight and while we were going to fix things, I thought I might try and look at this as a possible culprit.
Does anyone have a description or even better pictures of what I need to look for to determine if this bushing is bad? Before this car, I had never even heard of these before.
thanks
