May 28, 201411 yr The "new" 2000 outback. 221k just installed a 150k 5MT to replace the bad one and new clutch. So these are the first days of me actually driving the car. The trans shifts nicely. Clutch pedal seems to have good pressure. If I'm not very gentle, I can feel a clunk when I let up on the clutch after a gear shift. Everything performs normally otherwise, it just feels almost like something is loose under there. It makes a little noise, but I can feel it as well. It feels like it comes from the rear of the vehicle. But at it's worst feels like front and rear if that makes any sense. When I swapped the trans, the clutch disc had cracked 3/4 of the way around and the transmission had pieces coming out the drain plug. What should I be looking at? Drive shaft? Rear diff? Any thoughts on what to look for?
May 28, 201411 yr Drive shaft most likely, Were the U-joints checked, free movement? Did you make sure the front and rear diff were the same ratios?
May 28, 201411 yr Didn't forget to tighten any of the bolts for the Trans Crossmember, Engine Mounts, Pitch stopper?
