I don't know if I have a warranty issue or any other issue of any kind, but..

Upon low load (and medium) shifts from 3rd gear to 4th to 5th or 5th to 4th to 3rd etc. I get what seems to be a metalic "click". NOT a clunk, clunk would be more solid!!! The loud "click" happens when I engage a gear or let off the gas in gear and get back on the gas. It feels as if it is coming from the rear area of the car, but could be in middle. Again, this only happens upon shifting and getting back on the throttle and when load is put back on the driveline (transmission?)

Anyone know what this could be? U joints? Normal backlash? It seems very annoying to be "normal"..


Thanks
Gerald

I think it's what Steve Segal said. I went with Gerald today to go see Doug, but he dissed us! LOL....J/K....he had a long drive ahead of him.
That seems to describe the problem precisely, and that is what I thought the problem is....loose U-joints........

Mine is still dead today......

Are there any bolts that I could tighten myself for a fix at home? Anything that I can look for before taking to my Viper tech?
