Car is real jerky, clutch seems fine

No matter how I ride or dump the clutch especially in first gear and no matter how I feather the gas pedal it always seems to jump foward rhen level off. Yes I know how to drive a stick, its all I drive, been that way for 6 years. Something seems to make a popping noise like I dumped the clutch and its wheel hopping but not to that extreme. On a second note I have a loud custom axel back and it really really rattles something in the back of my car, maybe my deck lid or something, not sure but its super annoying. Happens a lot between 3 and 4 grand especially if Im engine braking.

For some reason im thinking TOB. Hope to heavens it isnt the tranny. For your rear rattle it sounds like you need a few more hangers,welds ect.

Thats something to check but mitsubishi's fit and finish isnt the best so assume its something else. I mentioned the exhaust becuase its def admits loud and low tones kind of like a decent system, I do also have a 10 in kenwood. If I would rev my eninge in the parking lot it would occasionally set of car alarms.

My tranny seems fine, I got it with 12k and now it has 45k, shifts real smooth, Im still thinking its when I took out the springs and struts to put in lowering springs but put it back together when they didnt fit. I didnt have torque specs when I put it back together but visually didnt see anything loose afterward and checked by hand and everything is still tight.

Nothing wrong with stock Mitsubishi fit and finish.

Check your front and rear motor mounts. Sounds to me like your engine is flopping back and forth when you launch.

If everything is tight and you dont find any bolts or mounts loose as some others said. The flywheel can also cause these jerky takeoffs if it is warped.

thinking maybe its the throw out bearing sticking just a lil. I checked most of the service bullentins on chiltonmanuals.com, they said rattiling came from the windshield or pillar and I need to install felt tape. The black rainguards are rall crappy too, those yellow and purple clips are super cheapy.
