    Clunk from rear end

    I have a clunk from my rear end when quickly engaging the clutch or being abrupt with the throttle at low speeds. I have a new stock diff bushing (it came in the m coupe cover), IE subframe bushings, AKG trailing arm bushings, my driveshaft and CSB were in good condition when i checked them when they were off, my shock mounts are good, I have an e36 tranny, rebuilt diff by metrix motorsport, e28 engine mounts, and e21 tranny mounts. Except for the driveshaft and tranny all parts have about 1200 miles on them.

    I'm about to check everything out when i change the diff fluid. Do you guys think that what I'm hearing is just the normal play in the diff and tranny combined with the stiffer bushings or is there most likely a real problem?

    How old is your guibo? I found that before I replaced mine I would hear a lot of clunking coming from the rear end on/off the throttle .I know it seems counter-intuitive since the guibo is at the opposite end of the driveline but that is what I noticed.
