Well nothing should really be going on it since it's an 02...have you dumped the clutch and done burnouts or break stands? Donuts? Drifting?

Yeah, I done a couple of donuts and redline the car couple of time .Thanks for replying.

that is completely normal. i have the same car, same year and it does it too. as does every other e46. it's known as the "driveline clunk" and spooks you when you first drive the car until you realize it's just natural.

Oh haha, a little clunk yea, WOW i wasnt even thinking, when I shift there is a little clunk, but I dont even notice it anymore. And yea a few donuts and redlining it shouldnt make it clunk. Sounds normal bro.
