Default Getting Car Back From Dealer Tomorrow

Getting Car Back From Dealer Tomorrow,
The drivline had some added slop in it, meaning not the basic thunk
we hear/feel durring abrupt clutch engagement. This was alittle more pronouced than normal... I honeslty thought it might have been a motor mount, but when i took the service tech on a test drive, ( i wont let them drive my car ) we were able to better pinpoint where it was comming from, and it was infact, the rear driveline being the culprit. seems i "tore up A rear bushing on top of the rearend"...? i asked the service tech to please show me the part when i pick it up, (maybe i'll grab it and take some pics) as i am curious to see anything that some "good ole' american muscle" can destroy is always
of intrest.

oh, and one piece of advice, is to order extra feedline. The standard isn'nt long enough, that car is big!







i say we all get this done and sit back and gloat. i might never use it , but just knowing it's there is priceless... like a hot chick with fake *****, looks great without needing to ever touch it for enjoyment.

Hopefully that is the problem. I've been to the dealer to "fix" a problem and they replace something that did nothing for the problem.

OK so i picked up the car this morning and i must say i'm in love all over again.
it feels like a brand new car.
no slop what so ever in driveline ( it's as tight as a 7yr.olds a-hole) .
i did take a few pix of the fragged bushing. wow! i can see why there
was a clunk.

(how do u like the bushing over the service counter guys head? the small pic looks like he's
frankenjerk...just add bolts on his neck)

those were my exact thoughts on the ride home.
at least i've learned how to baby the clutch and shift
smoothly without making it clunk...those newly developed
skills might save all existing bushings. lol
