Lots of play in tranny - "bucking"
I'm sure that there's some other 6spd owners that experience this, and I was curious as to what you thought might cause it...
When you let off the gas and just coast to a stop, you might experience a "bucking" when you first let off. This seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Any thoughts on what might cause this? I've already installed PR motor mounts (front & rear). My next point of attention is the suspension, but wanted to make sure.
BTW - I don't know if it's that my tires are too sticky or what, but even after installing these PR mounts, I still have wheel hop - reduced, but it's still there.

I have a 5spd and I get the same thing. I have been meaning to install my modified motor mounts, but have not had the time as I feel the job is a PITA. did you do it yourself?

It wasn't too bad. You really need a good set of tools though (i.e. floor jack, jack stands, impact gun etc...)
