Not sure I understand... You're hearing the noise when moving the shifter with the clutch depressed while driving?

yes, i also hear it on some rough bumps.... It also makes the noise if I release the clutch to fast and the cars weight shifts quickly. kinda sounds like a popping/clunk. its a new noise that i never heard before this.

Did you get the poly/poly UCA or the competition poly/spherical UCA?

You hand lubed the bushings with the little tub of red grease?

yea, just the outside, not the inside of the bushing... we lubed the part that would be touched by other parts of metal, no by bolts.

but if we greased the UCA bushing, wouldn't the grease transfer to the mount? - refering to the piece closest to the rear seats, away from the girdle connection.

Looks like you got enough on there so it wouldn't be a problem. Did you replace the mount too or just the UCA?
