Re: Clunking/thudding while shifting/rough idle

Thanks, per question 1: The backfire came out the exhaust, so maybe too late? Also, it doesn’t happen often, and I remember that I may have been in a rush to get home after a long night at work, and not let the car warm up properly.

New project gone down hill only, bent frame

So I just picked up a new project and was super pumped even with the large list of problems it had. The car had a bad clutch but I attempted to drive it to San Diego from LA.
