So I made 3 runs at the drags friday and ever since then I feel like there is a very subtle slip when I accelerate from a stop normally. just as it starts I feel like there is a very very subtle slip and clunk as it gets moving. Would you think transmission mounts maybe or transmission in general? It is subtle and if I am mid gear and accelerate everything is super solid even in downshift. Any thoughts?

Does it tend to happen around 1500 RPM's?

Thanks, the more I do with/to the car it seems I become more paranoid, I start noticing things that I never thought about before.

Welcome to the club! lol

Seems the more you repair something the more you find out something else might be broken. It's a love hate relationship with these cars. Sort of like a gold digger, she's hot but just drains your bank account. You know she's bad for you...but the sex is so good
