hello everyone! sorry for the delay in reply. I was able to finish switching out the subframe thanks to all the help i got on here (and my backwoods figure it out knowledge xD lol) one thing i will note, if you are like me then you try to keep from removing things that may not need to be removed, if you decide to take out the suspension and leave the axle.... make sure you bungee chord or zip tie that thing up lol.
Also, if you are using a pry bar to pry something loose from underneath the car, make sure your head isnt in the way if and when it slips. hit myself right in the temple and got a pretty big cut that would have needed about 3 stitches, if i hadnt decided to get a butterfly bandage and some skin glue to do it myself lol, I was seeing stars for a good ten minutes. Lessons learned.

Just recently had my clutch replaced and starting to hear a rattle whenever the car is in gear and throttle is applied. Could this be a result of an improperly bolted subframe?

It doesn't seem likely but it's possible that sub frame nuts and bolts could be loose...if it was removed to pull the trans. I'd look into the downpipe touching it also. Accelerating causes the engine to twist a lil and could be making the dp come up to make contact .

That's sounds more like DP hitting something, or a loose PS line bracket..
