Klunk when shifting

When I power shift and the tires spin, I hear a klunk on the passager side. Any idea what it could be? I do not try to do this often. The two time they spun shifting, it has done it. Should I tell the dealer?:confused:
 
Wheel Hop

Its wheel hop. Nothing wrong with the car, its common for FWD cars with lots of power to do this.
 
Yea, tell the dealer you're power-shifting. They'll gladly replace anything that goes bad :rolleyes:

Like Mazda3 said, it's wheel-hop and it's normal. Just take it easy ...
 
Wheel hop? I guess i've been driving RWD cars too long. My mustang wheel hop on street tires, but it feels like it will fall apart when it does. (It only does this on launch.):D

I wasn't going to tell them I'm shifting that hard.;)

Where can you fin those for the 3?

You may have to wait, search the net, or fabricate.

It is possible that becuse the engine is shared in the Mazda lineup, there are some available now.

Keep the faith...Brian:cool:
