Sup guys..
I was making a right turn on a traffic light after being stoped and when i started to go i heard somethin snap.
Then when i started to drive again there was alot of vibration in 1st and 2nd gear. The shifter was shaking alot too but when i was on the freeway it shook but not as much.
I have a B&M short shifter and a stage 5 unsprung clutch with nismo mounts all around.

s13 sr20 in a s13 chassies

Im thinking i might have broke a mount maby?

Has anyone had any problems like this befor?

Thanks fr your help...

Where did you hear the snap?

Driver/Passenger side? Front/Rear?

It may be some type of control arm, you may want to get one of your buddies to check out all the wheels while you roll slowly.

Maybe some of your studs on your wheel broke? Make sure all of those are there...

It could be something very serious or it could be something very minor, I think if it was an axle you wouldn't be able to drive the car.

It was hard to hear where the snap came from i wanna say from the back but then again i also wanna say from the trans. I talked to my buddy and he said it could of been the u-joint on the drive shaft also because they make a snapping sound also when they brake ill lift it tonight and get it checked out thank you tho

The U-Join, you mean that rubber part that bolts up around the drive shaft right before the tranny?
