alot of you guys helped the clunk just by checking the bolts...which ones do i need to check to help this...is there a detailed pic somewhere showing these bolts...i remember reading 180 and 140 for the torque on these...i just want to make sure im wrenching on the right bolts...thanks scott
I just checked my cradle bolts and they seemed fine....but this eliminates a variable....it's awsome the kind of info you can get in this forum - James - Thanks for the pic from your manual.

There is also a nut that can loosen on the back of the differential. If you get under the car you can't miss it. Mine was so loose you could move the diff about 1/2" up and down.
Scott,
That's probably the front differential mount. We have had a couple V's come in that had that mount worn out. It would cause a lot of play in the drivetrain and quite a bit of noise from the rear of the car... Here's a pic from the service manual, the mount I'm referring to is right above the yolk at the front of the differential. Part number for the busing is 89058605...
Holy sh**, I spent last night squeezing under the car to check the cradle bolts, now I've got to check this front bushing.....James, is this something I will be able to see without a lift? Ain't much room under there even if I pull up over a cutter and slide under.
You mention it being worn out - would you expect there maybe a need to tighten something as oppossed to wear? (I only have 2K miles).

It's gonna be tight trying to see this without lifting the car in some way. Haven't seen any come in that the bolt securing the bushing/mount was loose, but anything is possible... But, I wouldn't expect it to be loose or worn out at 2,000 miles...
James - please check out the thread saying "here it is, clunking gone". The claim is that a bushing change eliminated the clunk - possibly the same mount you're talking about. Can you determine what the bushing is by the part number listed? Does it make sense to you that it could be the culprit?

So a quick run down on my dilemma. As of most issues I read on the forums after my LS7 clutch swap my car ran great and on the third time I went to start it the lights on dash went out besides check engine light. This lead me to believe it was the clutch position sensor so I put a new AC Delco...
