Default strange clunkin sound followed by a slight hesitation feeling

there is a strange clunkin sound followed by a slight hesitation feeling in the front passanger side, its not consistent though, it only does it every now and then, at first i only noticed it when it was wet out, now it will do it in the dry sometimes, i have no clue what it could possibly be, any info would be great thanks

can you get more definate? check your suspension componants? That doesn't explain the hesitation, but it does explain thunks. Also, is you're clutch acting up? etc...

Sounds like a misfire, but it seems like you think its in the suspension/frame section so it beats me.

thats where the trouble is becuase my second gear syncro is out, so i thought that may have had something to do with it, but it does it in all the gears, the throwout bearing is making the slighest noise, you can barely hear that unless your stopped and theres no other sounds in the surrounding area, and the strangest thing is that the noise acctually happend one time after i parked it, shut the car off and opend the door, so thats why it completly boggles my mind

really think it could be the plugs?? that would be awsome if thats all it is, ill try it this weekend and let you know if it worked, but they only reason i dont think it could be them is becuase just today i had someone in the car to see if it would do it, and they could feel it on thier feet...who knows

cheapest option go to autozone and have them scan your ecu. if it throws a misfire code DING DING DING replace spark plugs. if it doesnt then more then likely it something with suspension or tranny.
