Getting sick of the day to day driving in this car. My drivetrain feels like it's binding, causing some parasitic-power robbing acceleration, and noisy jerkyness upon deceleration. It's definitely not smooth any more. Figuring out the culprit is frustrating as hell. I feel like giving up and leaving the car running in front of the mall, with a Do Not Return sign and a $50 gift card. 😩 I've tried everything, all the oils are freshly changed without finding any metal. It coasts fine in neutral but it's binding in every gear and it's annoying the hell out of me. It's almost like I have oval wheels, or an Awd system with different ratio diffs. FML

Anyone else out there having the same issues? Wanna swap stories? I am giving up ..... Heard there is a cliff, with a steep drop, missing a guard rail somewhere 😒

 

If I release the clutch as as I back out of the driveway in the morning my car stops like the emergency brake is on. I am running summer ultra rubber, tires that shouldn't be used this time of year and they are like hockey pucks. I have the standard GSR suspension and it is stiff in summer. In winter it is like a brick.

It has been very cold. Maybe your problem is no more than that.

 

Check rear subframe assembly bushings? Just throwing ideas out there..Also driveshaft carriers?

 

This is what I was wondering. Mine sounds like the driveshaft moves and knocks around when I turn but I can't find any info at all on here about our driveshaft bushings.

 

If running something other than daiqueen in the rear diff, depending on the lubricant, the rear lsd may lock in turns.
