New noise

[toomanymustangs]

I took the car to the dealership to try and get the head fixed.

The car always seemed to make a clinking noise when you were just starting out. Like if you are stopped in gear and just let the clutch out enough to grab. It make a pretty loud clunk like there is a bunch of slack that is being taken up.

My warranty runs out in a few months so I want things to be taken care of now. Is this normal? Will it hurt anything?

Yes that is normal "driveline clunk". Mine does the same thing, pretty F-in annoying isnt it. It's caused by all the clearances in the driveline ( trans gears, axle gears, halfshafts etc etc). All this adds up to an annoying clunk that wont go away. But it shouldnt get any worse either.

Doesn't really bother me if I know it wont hurt anything. I am just worried everytime I leave a stop light that the rear will end up in pieces on the ground.
