Sloppy Driveline/Jerking and Bouncing
Hey, I have 2006 Evo 9 which I mostly use for daily driving. For some reason, recently I've noticed a lot of driveline slop in the car. When I'm just driving at partial throttle and I let off the gas to slow down the car will jerk and bounce back and forth once or twice before engine braking. Same thing when I'm not on the gas and I give it some throttle, it will jerk and bounce back and forth before going. I already replaced my front lower engine mount with a Blox roller stopper. After installing it about a year and a half ago the car felt great but for some reason this slop is worse than ever. I was wondering if getting the Energy Suspension Rear Diff Bushing Kit will help get rid of this slop or is there anything else you can suggest. Thanks, Eryk.

This could be nothing more than a sticky throttle plate. I noticed that when driving my Evo today I was being jerky. My throttle plate was sticking a little.

Could this possibly be from the fluids I'm using? I have Redline MT90/MTL blend in the transmission, Redline 75W90 GL5 in the transfer case and the original factory fluid in the rear diff.
