Giving Up On 4kq Clunk

[Christopher Flanner]

Listers,

After spending countless hours under my 4kq, sending it to 3 mechanics, 
replacing every suspect bushing, posting many questions to the list, etc., I 
am giving up on fixing my 4kq rear end clunk.  I'll spare you the details of 
my quest to rid either of my 4kq's of their clunks.  Thanks for the advice 
over the course of my quest.  (Please don't reply to this recommending that 
I check the differential mounts, subframe bushings, center support bearing, 
u-joint, CVs, muffler hangers, etc. as I have checked and/or replaced them 
and many more parts :)

Now that I've given up on prepping a 4kq for a turbo transplant I must find 
an 80 or 90 quattro to receive the MC turbo engine.  I've been looking 
online for a while to find an 80q or 90q but nothing's quite worked out.  Is 
anyone trying to sell one?  It'll go to a great home!

The 4kq that was slated to receive the MC engine is otherwise a beautiful 
car.  A former professor of mine wants to buy it, clunk and all.  I hope 
it's not like a Twilight Zone episode where the car passes from owner to 
owner driving each one insane.  He's been warned.

Thanks for listening,
Chris
