Just got my Evo today need help
Whats up guys I just picked up a GG Evo IX ME today. Please tell me if this is normal. When I spool up in 1st and shift to second I hear like a thump. It also does it in other gears too. Please let me know if this is normal if not I will take it back to the dealer ASAP. Thanks in advance.

desribe the thump a little more..
is it like under heavy shifting? you hear like a hard thump from the rear end??
if so, its ur differential bushings. not bad at all. every evo does this.
you could easily fix this although its really not a problem.
i believe ams makes solid diff bushing and mustache bar eliminator kit..

you need to get a little more used to the car
you are shifting too quickly and the drivetrain is reacting by giving off that thumping sound
you do not need a mustache bar eliminator to remedy the issue on a street car
learn to drive smoother...it's not an easy car to drive super smooth
