ok, so ive got my rear subframe out right now and i wired up my radiator fans...in an attempt to let the engine warm up to test the fans...i went to start the car and heard a clunking with a rotational sound to it as i started the car...check to make sure it was not in gear...not in gear. so u guys think the drive shaft could be spinning cause it has absolutly no resistance against it? or is it cause my car is up in the air at an awkared angle?...could my clutch/brake fluid be affected by the un levelness of the car? clutch cylinder bad? im a bit baffled on this one...although not worried, cause i have a feeling as soon as i get the rear end back in, there should not be an issue. note:car is up on jack stands and the front is a bit lower than the rear(just the way i jacked it up)
