Rattling on acceleration from drivetrain

[Rhynolite]

01 2.8 SC'd

On acceleration in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, I occasionally get a rattling sound that goes away after about 10 seconds. It almost sounds like something is caught on the shafts, but I checked and nada.

Reason I think it's from the drivetrain is because I can only hear the rattling when I'm next to curbs/walls on acceleration. Thanks in advance

Exhaust leak!

Exhaust leak!

Just got my mid-muffler taken out, and the guy who was doing it welded up all the leaks that were there. One possibility down!

Check your heatshields. Does this only happen when your car isnt warmed up?

Nope, happens when the car is warm too.

Sound clip?

I'll go try and get a sound clip today.

CAT?

There's two, and why do you think it might be that?

Went out and tried to get it on video, stupid little camera won't pick it up. It sounds like a combination of a rattle and a click when I'm on it.

Time for a new first gear buddy... I had this problem before.

You should beable to find a V6 Tranny no problem.

I found the cause of my rattle.....one of my exhaust clamps broke, so I think I've got a minor leak

I also notice my transmission makes noise too (i hear it when pulling out of toll booths, etc), but my trans works just fine. I'm running a SB St4, so I always attributed that noise to have a loud clutch
