jerking sound when clutch is fully engaged in first or second gear

gSx-LeX · Aug 22, 2002

hey guys , my 2nd gen gsx makes a clunking sound when i fully release the clutch , it feels like something is loose. people are telling me that that usually means there is something worng with the drive shaft or something of that nature.. any ideas? if i let go of the clutch really slowly, then it engages fine but when i give it gas and let go of the clutch then it thumps, this is as best that i can describe it.

My '90 does that too....I always thought it had something to do with play in the driveshaft

Check the driveshaft supports/mounts and the U-joints just to be sure that everything is okay.

my dsm only has 50k , so i doubt it's the drive shaft. could it be mount. it sounds like somehting external as opposed to something in the tranny

it was a mount

I am having a similar problem on my 40k mile 99 gsx, the clunking noise in mine happens more in 2nd and 3rd gear though. Where are these driveshaft mounts? How much do they cost? Are they hard to replace? How can I tell if theyre worn out?
