Clunk noise while changing gear

[HarryPotter]

I'm assuming my driveshaft is toasted to. Get a bit of a clunk on less-than-smooth gearchanges. And it has a good diff bushing and subframe mounts/RTABs with only 2k miles on them.

Shittay.

I hope it's not the driveshaft I checked it out seemed to be within specs. Once I replace the subframe bushings and I hear the clunk still blood will be spilled.

So, can anyone give a final thought or knowledge on this matter? Please.

Is there clunking only in shift changes or in neutral.. or both?.

When you take the subframe off youll probably have the driveshaft disconected and you can check for notchy motion or stiffness in the u-joint but that's would cause more of a vibration then a clunk.

hate to open an old thread but I have this problem, but only in neutral with the clutch engaged, foot off clutch pedal, and my tranny makes a lot clunking noises, sounds like a rod knock, I think its a bad input shaft bearing but some old bmw factory techy said alot the 5 speed e30's did this and all it needs is heavier weight gear oil, I put in the royal purple shit when I did the conversion. could the gear oil be a factor? the noise disappears as soon as I depress the clutch pedal, has new spec dual friction clutch, resurfaced lightened flywheel, new throwout bearing, and has done this since putting it in the car.

To be honest, I haven't driven an E30 that didn't do this.
I would purposely let go of the clutch with out gas to see if they do it and they all did it, whether mild or wildly. Still wonder what it is EXACTLY though.
