+1 on this, Very good point, Using all your might to Shift it into gear is Not Good, You can only inflick Damage when "beating" or "Doing Sprint" whatever you wanan call it.

Think of it this way, If somebody Kick you Dead square in the Junk would you like it, or think its "OK" to do?

 

The thud is normal. If your worried about damaging something then slow your shifts down. The rear difs are pretty strong and I wouldnt worry much about it.

 

I hear the "Thud" if I let off the clutch too fast. ^^^Carbondale Represent!^^^

 

it's either prothane or energy suspension that sells polyurethane rear diff mounts to replace the rubber ones that come stock. maybe they would solve your problem.

 

Yup, only on the 1-2, never on any other shifts.

 

what is poweshifting??????

 

i just put a new twing exedy clucth on my car and the guy told me not to powershift, what is that???

 

I have found that this only seems to happen on '05+ cars. From what I can tell, Mitsu didn't change anything in the rear of the car that would cause this on the newer models. Anyone with an '03-04 get this thump?

 

That thud your talking about is called BANGING GEARS in good old muscle car terminology!

 

I have never heard a banging noise like that, other than if I just drop the clutch out, and that noise comes from the tranny, not the rear diff... That dosent really sound very good for the car. I have never had a noise come from the rear diff. Not to mention our cars dont have a LSD in the rear diff from what I have heard, but I could be completly off. Good luck with finding your problem.

 

Wow.. Its the diff bro.. Just slow your role and rev match to ease the stress on your car.. LoL.. Evo is a beast none the less

 

Charlie, stop being a *****, its fine! LOL
