face the facts. its still a cheap ford. you cant get a 300hp v8 at $25000 that runs 13's from anyone else. mine clunks and clanks also but if you want a car that doesnt for the same speed itll cost you ten thousand more.

Ever since I installed the magnaflow magnapack exhaust and took out the cats, I don't hear any clunking anymore!!

I had a one-piece aluminum driveshaft installed and no more clunking!

Where did you buy yours? How much did it cost and how was the install? I mean its not a huge problem but it is an annoyance that I know can be fixed.

Mine only clunks when it's warm out or it's been on a long roadtrip and the drivetrain has had time to warm up. When it's cold out my commute is quiet; when it's warm it clunks like it's falling apart.

Seems there is a lot of lash in the drivetrain, apparently with a lot in the joint for the two piece driveshaft. The one piece driveshaft seems to fix it for a lot of people. The spydershaft is pretty popular.

As for the shifter, the bushings from steeda help immensly to reduce how vague the shifter feels.

Thanks, ill have to check out that drive shaft.

Mike - I got the Steeda driveshaft, but you can get the Spydershaft for a lot less. Install was less than $100.

Thanks, I just saw the Steeda shaft and looks like the one I'll probably go with. Appreciate the feedback.
