02 x5 3.0 manual 5 speed clunks/jerks when changing gears

[nicknjg88]

i have had this car for a while now and when u change gears it clunks / jerks unless u come of the clutch super slow we replaced the rear end support and it kinda helped but idk what needs fixing and it being a 5 speed makes it fun to search for answers some one told me the rear control arms but i dont want to spend all this money and have no solution on a fix !

If you hear it from the back it sounds like the rear subframe bushings are bad. My are going out at 89k miles on my 5mt. On my auto there are still going strong with a 139k miles.

What do you mean by rear end support?

On the back of the rear end there is a bushing / mouny on one side that mounts it to the car my mechanic replaced the rubber bushing part

I'm assuming you are talking about the transmission/transfer case mount then. He should check the rear diff mounts and rear subframe mounts.

But really you should find a different mechanic. Worn bushings are very easy to find and he shouldn't have to use the shotgun approach to fix this issue.

Get rid of the clutch delay valve
