I have an 03 and when I diwnshift or start going from a stop, I can hear crackling noises coming from the back of the car. Like metal crackling... I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and whether it could be a u-joint or the limited slip?
Thanks

 

Hey I have a 2003 and sometimes when i take off from a stop or shift gears in automatic i get the same sound. I too am wondeirng what that sound is. I dont think it is a problem but it would be nice to know what it is

 

yeah same here. I took it into the shop for that but they fixed something entirely different that i needed done also and forgot about that. I have to go back now. I'll let you know what they find.

 

I think that's what it is. I have a 1984 Corvette that does the same when you put the auto trans in drive. I would have thought the Z would not do that, though. Especially one with 8k miles.

Oh, BTW, mine is 6-speed.
