[QUOTE="Tom, post: 335731, member: 1"] sounds like multiple problems. i suggest you fix it one by one just to make sure and to save some money and from being talked into replacing things that may be able to last for a few more months. common freeplay and thumping comes from the longshaft couplings front and rear. try to get that changed if you haven't for some years. check the driveshaft joints too intermittent vibration from the longshaft area may also come from the long shaft bearing near the center of the car. if you haven't touched that in a long time (years) then that should be checked for shifting problems, it could be due to the shift linkages. bushings and stuff. for clutch problems, it could be due to fluids or the clutch itself. nothing major, don't worry. and again, it's okay to solve one by one. month by month. Also try not to take your mechanic's presription word for word. [/QUOTE]
