:( I been having this problem and cannot find what is causing it. Well travelling at 50mph, in 5th... I get off the gas and back on the gas real fast and all the sudden there is a thud,a squeak, and a rattle like something under my car is going to fall out. I thought it was the the exhaust rattling around, I look under the car and move the exhaust system around and did not see anything. Also when I to park in reverse and release the clutch fast it makes those noises, and at any gear when I get off the gas all of the sudden. I'm open for suggestions??????
 
sounds like it could be your motor or tranny mounts. Take a look at them and see if they look worn and cracked and if they do then you most likely found your problem. If your mounts are fine then it might be suspension related. Does it only make the noise when you let off and get on it at 50mph?
 
It makes the noise when ever I'm on the accelerator and suddenlly come off of it. Doesn't really matter how fast I'm going and like I wrote it also does it in reverse. I have recentlly replace one of the mounts a few weeks ago, it's the one on the crossmember. :confused:
 
I have some kinda rattle i hear out the passenger side window but only hear it when i go over bumps and its not the window rattle sounds metal/metal but like i said only hear it over bumps,97 GSX
