Please Help Fast!!!! Camaro's Bumping
i noticed that my rs makes a light thumping noise when i'm driving steadily. i was driving last night very slow, like 30, in third gear, and there was a constant thumping, like something is loose and banging, or a pipe is hitting. also, when i down shift into second, once in a while i will hear a REALLY loud thump. the shifter seems to bounce up and down quite a bit. i had a similar problem in my 89 firebird v6. in the firebird, it turned out to be the transmission mount. sound familiar to anyone? if so, is the one @ jegs worth the money?
http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...84&prmenbr=361 please help, FAST. thanks |

yup.. well mine was more serious... it turns out the torque from the engine twisted off one of the motor mounts and one of the tranny mounts.. whenever i would get on it it would feel like the center colom would bump or a loud clump...

Re: Please Help Fast!!!! Camaro's Bumping
My friend had a 96 v6 camaro and it had the same problem. Every time he down shifted or peeled out or even when he drove to slow on a gear for some reason his exaust pipe would hit the bottom of the car.

Re: Please Help Fast!!!! Camaro's Bumping

Re: Please Help Fast!!!! Camaro's Bumping
my friend had a problem like that in his 91 Accord, whenever he would turn, accell from a stop, or stop at a light, there'd be a Thud, turned out to be the loose bowling ball he put in the trunk.

Re: Please Help Fast!!!! Camaro's Bumping
well, i took it to the garage the other day. one of the pipes was bumping against the bottom of the car, and it also needs a tranny mount. cost me $32 to get the pipe fixed, and i'm prolly looking @ about $75 to have the tranny mount installed. i'll let you know how it works out in the end

Yeah sounds like a problem I use to have also... I started getting poor acceleration, and I was hearing a thud every time the car turned. I was getting really bad compression and my engine it was running hot. Turned out to be a loose bowling ball under my hood.
