You dumped the clutch on your hard launches?

It's probably cause I dropped the clutch too fast.

The rear diff on my car will clunk pretty bad when shifting to 2nd under very hard acceleration. Thats the only clunk I've ever experienced. I don't launch my car though.





Or it could be a possum...

exhaust hitting transfercase? bad mounts? Stop side stepping your car.

just get energy suspension rear diff bushings. Removes the clunk completely without rattling your teeth.
