just got my 07 STI!!!!
just upgraded from an 03 bugeye with alota problems....i just wanted to ask STI owners a question or two. when im getting on the throttle and go to shift from say second to third sometimes i hear and feel a loud thud noise...possible rear diff movement. just wondering if this is normal. also I kinda played around with dccd and did some flat foot shifting with the dccd set to auto and i noticed that when shifting i can hear very clearly three quick thuds with every shift seems to be coming from the rear diff also and when i switch the center diff to wide open i just get one thud which im thinking is just the drivetrain moving a bit due to a high torque load. can any one tell me if this is normal or if i have a bit of a problem....good thing i got a 100k warrenty. other than that its sooo awesome

Leak down and compression test, pray for good numbers if not get rid of it or ask warranty to get you a new block. I can't say i get a thud noise from shifting but it might be the clutch, when i dump mine in from time to time it thuds a little but not when shifting. When my dccd is open I get no noise only limitless driving pleasure, although driving at low speeds while having dccd in lock or up front you will get clunks and bumps keep that in mind.
