Noise... Can of bolts? anyone?
Yes... I searched, everything from 2003 - till now...
I can't decide if I Love this Car or Totally Hate it.
Purchased the car used in 2008 with 11k... It was obviously Tracked by the previous owner. And by this alone I feel the car has issues, yet to figure out. Right off the bat the Clutch was gone, so I replaced it with a Twin Plate OS Giken with a Pull to Push Conversion. I understand multi plate clutches make noises, and what they sound like. I Never track the car and only on occasion power through the gears... I Never did a Clutch Kick or High RPM Launch in fear that the Trans. or Transfer Case would Die... this doesn't mean the first owner didn't.
Fast forward about a year... Rolling up to stop lights (out of gear/ no clutch) you would get a Thump in the bottom of your seat. Forums suggest its the DriveShaft. We also have other noises that I associated as (
AWD) Normal. They are: When you let off the clutch to Neutral a metal clanking sound, or if you let off the Gas In Gear, mainly 1st when driving in parking lots or around at low speeds (similar clanking sound)... maybe this is the only time I could hear it.
As of Right Now... I just Replaced the DriveShaft with the AWD 2pc. Aluminum... and now all the sounds are amplified 10x louder... and I noticed a New one that can only be described as a Can of Bolts rolling down the street... That hits a little to close to home. I love the new Clutch and the New D/S and I refuse to hear "thats normal" ever again!
Anyone... Please... I need some real info.
Transfer-case?
Blown LSD?
I only run Motul Fluids, the car is babied and is basically stock w/ no major power mods... hell it even has a stock ECU.

Thanks for the help guys... 
I spent 2 days under the car finding anything that may be touching something it shouldn't. Eventually looked in the Peep holes of the Clutch and the T-Case.
Thankfully the Clutch is still in good shape, but the LSD in the T-Case is Toasted!!
Time for Shep. Racing/ Quafe!!
