Just picked up the clutch stop after running across that thread. That's a LOT of excitement over a $10 part!

So, in other news, I'm thinking about new shocks/struts, but good lord they're expensive (Bilstein HD).

And I've noticed a bit of a clunk when I brake after I've been driving it around in traffic. Sounds like a caliper or a piston getting hung up.

And, I don't often drive it this way, but I've also heard a clunk from the right rear when I take an aggressive long right turn (35 to 40mph) when it really unloads that corner. It *could* be something in the trunk, but I'm just not sure.
Are you sure the clunk is not something moving around in the trunk, battery box, or the storage compartment?

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
