DSS Driveshaft 13-14 V6
Hey guys, i just got the DSS 1-piece aluminum driveshaft installed today. But i hear a clunk sound when i put the gear in Drive or Reverse.
I am uploading a video link that i made to show you guys how it sounds. The car drives great with the driveshaft. I went to 85 on the highway after installing it today and everything seems to be fine.
But this noise seems very strange to me. Hope someone can chime in quickly here.

Can't find much on the forum. Contacted DSS, showed them the video and they said it's normal. And if i want the clunk sound removed, the rear axle/pinion needs to be rebuilt (whatever the heck that means...)
Got the bolts re-torqued, and the clunk is still there. Noticeable, but not loud.
After reading on the forums, they say it's because of the joint/adapter plate DSS give you. (Not many details there like i said)
So now, i don't know what to do. Maybe should get a tune and get that limiter removed
But hate that clunk noise when putting the car in drive or reverse.

It's normal. I had one installed last November. Not a DSS, but one from Axle Exchange. I called the shop and the vendor to verify everything was ok after I heard the clunks.

Yup, the 2 piece shaft actually dampens the noise with the rubber in there. So we never heard that noise before installing the 1 piece where there's no dampening.

Interesting that you hear it when putting it in D or R ... Wonder if this "clunking" sound would be noticeable for anyone with a manual transmission going in an out of gears.

I have the same Driveshaft and mine is a manual. I do not hear any noise engaging in drive or reverse.

I have BAMA 91/87P/87S Tunes. And, If I remember right all of them idle at around 1100 RPM cold and idle 900 RPM warm.
