Hey Guys,
I Pat and i'm new here. I've got a problem which has prompted me to join.
I recently(last thursday) replaced the clutch and transmission on a 5 speed 1998 forester. I checked the trans over and over to make sure there was nothing wrong with it including a trans flush and nothing was out of place. After install a clunking was very noticably while accelerating or under load and it is coming from the front passenger side floor board forward. You can feel the fibrations through the the shifter yet the trans shifts perfectly with no issues. Everything looks esthetically sound and i have gone over and over the vehicle again and again and came up empty handed. I replaced the axle on the front passenger side but it did not change anything. I put the forester on a hoist and ran it through the gears while suspended and nothing happens(no clunking-all is normal)
I'm somewhere between a trans with a torque flex issue, a motor mount, a strut mount, or..........this is where i need your input.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Pat
