Hi folks,

Now it's finally warm enough to have the top down I've noticed quite a loud
"creaking" coming from under the car whilst pulling off (imagine sitting
down onto a old wooden chair).  The noise isn't in the car (i.e. clutch
pedal) and there is also a bit of it from 1st to 2nd, but beyond this too
much wind/road noise to hear it.

I can't get any noise from bouncing any of the corners of the car.

Could it be engine or diff mounts, something inside the gearbox diff or
diff?

Any thoughts or tests I could do to isolate it?

Car is a '97 FMII with a regular 5-speed and torsen diff, done 121k miles.

BTW, still have both intake and exhaust cam advanced by about 14' (due to a
crank pulley misalignment when changing the water pump) and am enjoying the
late but more explosive power delivery!

Glenn
