Hey Guys,

I took my car to the shop (tow truck) because it has a distressing noise coming from the driveline. The noise increases in tempo and volume as I increase speed.
It’s behind the transmission as I can put it in neutral, let out the clutch and coast. The noise then reduces in volume and intensity as the car slows. The sound is a “bonk, bonk, bonk…….” .

I just took delivery of this car and it’s my first Columbia. The car is just off a full restoration and the Columbia was rebuilt at that time. I’ve driven the car less than 5 miles since I got it and never engaged the lever on the dash because of the noise. The engagement lever looks like it is not completely pointing to the left. So I was wondering if it’s possible that this situation (overdrive only partially engaged) could result in the noise I’ve described above.
