Hello all, I've got a problem that has me basically wishing something would fall off of my car so that I would know what it is.
The issue I'm having is when I'm driving at any speed and I throw it in 5th and apply the gas the engine feels like it is literally going to jump out of my engine bay. At first I thought it might be because I was lugging the engine, however it will do this if I'm going 50mph or 90mph.
Something that might be a clue is, somewhere I have a random clacking that sounds like its coming from around the transmission, both when the clutch is engaged and disenaged, it sounds kind of like if you were to take a couple short pieces of metal and tap them together. However some times it makes the noise and sometimes it doesn't and whether the car is making the noise or not it drives the same.
1st > 4th gears pull hard and I can cruse fine in those gears no bucking/jerking/shuttering when the gas is applied.
I've replaced a few of the important sensors that come up when searching for this issue:
TPS, IAC, EGR, both oxygen sensors.
I've replaced the sparkplugs/wires, tested the timing from 8 > ~12 I run 87 octane so I don't want to chance any higher.
All codes come back clean.
This issue really puzzles me as aside from the 5th gear bucking and the noise I hear sometimes, the car runs really good and accelerates hard.
Thanks for any help.
