Rear diff clunk after a hard upshift?
I did a search, but did'nt really know what to type in to search it, so I figure I should just ask. I thought I remembered reading a thread on this a while back, but could'nt dig it back up. Anways, i finally reached my 1000 miles yesterday and changed the oil today. After work today, I decided to give it a little pull from 2nd through 3rd... after I got near 7k rpm in 2nd, I shifted into 3rd, and right when I did, the I got a loud CLUNK from what sounded like the rear diff. Did I do something wrong or is there something about AWD that should be taken into account? (I came from a FWD then RWD car... this is my first AWD). Did I shift wrong or screw something up? I decided to stop messing around after that until I found out what happened. Any feedback would be cool. Thanks.

its fine, drive on, my viii did it and my ix does it. you will see the evo makes a lot of weird sounds but its really a tough car. I beat the **** out of my viii with 400 hp for 30k miles with no problems and im at 11k on my ix doing the same thing. I just dont launch much. The launch is what tears up our cars.

I've just been shifting a tiny bit slower and it's solved the problem. Shrugs. If you're at the drag stip then it might affect your time a tiny bit tho..
