My bug shifts nice and smooth. The issue I am having is a thump/clunk when the clutch disengages. Its like its taking up slop somewhere between the engine and the tires before it puts power to the ground. Does it thru all 4 gears. Taking off in first, I can 'load' it and get it to not do it on take off. Jaked up, I can't find the smoking gun. Not knowing what the inside of a Transaxle looks like, can it get that sloppy? Things to check? Better way of troubleshooting?

Thanks for the help!

Sounds like it might be the CV's. Take the boots off and take a look inside.
