Default Re: Backlash in the Transaxle?

I have this same clunking problem...but mine is non-existent under hard acceleration.

I only get this clunking and jerking going on when I am cruising around, trying to stay at a specific MPH. So when I am at say... 6-10% throttle I get the clunking and jerking. It is almost impossible to cruise around a parking lot and it's really bad in 5th (I'd almost say it feels the worst in 5th).

I have replaced the VCU, OS and IS.

I was told by my mechanic (very reliable) that I have a bad carrier bearing, bad right rear bearing, and my rear pinion seal needs to be replaced. So I was kind of figuring that it was being caused by those things.

I am going to replace my DS with a 1pc CF, but that won't be for quite some time.
