January 25, 201016 yr Hey, Did a little romping in the snow this weekend, as always my car's abilities amazed me. However, when coming down the mountain I noticed some clunking/banging noise that seems to be coming from my transmission or drivetrain. The noise only seems to be there when the car is in gear, moving with the throttle disengaged, below ~2k RPM. Throwing in the clutch immediately stops the noise, and there's no noise in neutral. I didn't hit anything while the aforementioned romping was occurring, no visible damage to the underside of the car. I've got ~130k miles on it, all stock, never had a problem like this before. Any ideas? Thanks.
January 26, 201016 yr Look at the simple first, exhaust hangers. nipper Also look for snow that's turned into ice built up around things like the muffler or wedged between the transmission and tunnel. Keith
January 26, 201016 yr Author Excellent! Thanks for the replies. Ice shouldn't be an issue, as i'm now down the mountain and any ice is definitely melted. Hopefully this ends up being a simple/inexpensive fix.
