It's probably cause I dropped the clutch too fast.

The rear diff on my car will clunk pretty bad when shifting to 2nd under very hard acceleration. Thats the only clunk I've ever experienced. I don't launch my car though.





Or it could be a possum...

exhaust hitting transfercase? bad mounts? Stop side stepping your car.

It's the sound of you breaking the sound barrier.

just get energy suspension rear diff bushings. Removes the clunk completely without rattling your teeth.
