| My 73 Super Beetle has an odd thump when coasting. It runs great, but when I let off the gas and start braking, you can hear a thump coming from the rear. Not from the motor but it's definitely in the back end. Any ideas? |

| A constant thumping or a single thump? |

Is it when you start braking and keep braking or after you let up off the brakes?
Are your rear shoes somehow wonky? |

It's not in the brakes. Does it when coasting, braking or whatever. |

Coasting in neutral, or in gear. |

You can only coast out of gear in neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed. The engine under a load, or engine braking, is not coasting. |

| Oh, nothing. Just saying that the only time you can coast is in neutral. |
