ok, i did some search on the forum already so. here's what's going on.
i've had my new TC, shiftkit, and end clutch done (parts bought from jon) for about 2 months now. everything's been working flawlessly. it shifts hard and can feel the shifting. but today, after i got out of a business meeting and start her up. all was usual, untill it warmed up and in the middle of driving, i started noticing a strange clicking sound while it downshifts from 2nd to 1st. at first i thought was just nothing, since sometimes the gears do make a soft clicking sound almost like it's engaging into gears. but then more and more often it start happening at almost every 2nd to 1st downshift. so now i am really worried. the more careful i listen to it, it's not one of those regular gear engaging soft click sound, but rather a two click clunk sound almost lilke something is lose. from drivers seat inside the car, it sounds like if you were to drop a marble on a table softly kind of "two" click sound. and my foot can actually feel a slight vibration when it clunks. it just cluncks like that once every downshift from 2nd to 1st and from P to D.
after listening to it more and more carefully, i am starting to suspect that maybe some bolt is lose and it's hitting against another metal.
i searched around the forum for "sound" found that some people with strange clunking sound suggest motor mount or transmission mount.
what do you guys think?
should i take it to the dealer?..... my car's somewhat modified, i am afraid they'll temper with the stuff i have under the hood. like i have the BCS top end vacume line disconnected from the intake pipe when i upgraded the intake.
