Hi everyone!

I dont know if you all can remember but I changed the clutch in my '87 924s a few months back. Car has been running great (besides the CV bolt scare I had), but there has been a new noise since the work has been done. Basically, any time the car is strained in RPM change/acceleration(such as dumping into the next gear or downshifting, and ESPECIALLY peeling out). Basically what happens is the car makes a creaking sound in the rear, almost like something is adjusting/straining. I can almost feel it from behind. And it seems to coinside with the struts lowering in the back to the downforce in the rear of the car. And when I peal out, this sound happens constantly about 4 - 6 times a second until traction is regained. Someone told me it could be wheel hop but i dont think so as I also hear the sound occasionaly when im driving normally. Any ideas as to what this is?

Transaxle mounts loose or broken? Perhaps they were not torqued properly?

Could just be rear shocks and/or suspension bushings. Can you hear the sound when the car is parked and you bounce the rear?
