The clunk I'm experiencing is noticeable in all gears, but it is more pronounced in 2nd and 5th. I notice it especially when I'm accelerating quickly in 2nd and then I let off the gas suddenly. The car will literally jerk back and forth and my head bobs like bobblehead doll. This also happens in 1st gear, in the lower rpms range, which makes driving around parking lots tonnes of fun...  The only way to soften the clunk and make it less noticeable is to slip the clutch when shifting into every gear, and to push in the clutch every time I want to decelerate and to slip the clutch back into gear.
So, just to clarify things here. You don't think the fact that I'm able to turn my propeller shaft 1/6 of a turn is significant/the cause of my problem and you think it has to do with my transaxle? If it is the transaxle, what components could be causing the clunk? I just finished replacing my OS and VCU and this made little to no difference.
Thanks again.
