Thanks
When braking, the forces applied to the rear axle housing cause the nose (front) of the differential to pitch downward.
When you apply throttle on take-off, or even just let off the brake and idle away, the differential regains it''s alignment with the driveshaft and this is the thud you are hearing.
Lubricating rear suspension components at hinge points should remedy the problem if it concern you.

The transmission light is not on...it automatically shifts nice from 1st to 2nd when I accelerate. When I ease to a slow stop there is no noise and when I ease the acceleration there is no noise. Any clues? I am thinking transmission, but that is the only symptom, but I am thinking rear end noise too.
Thanks,

The EXACT same thing is happening to my Axiom. I thought it might be the transmission but Im also thinking it may be an engine mount too. I remember my buddy had a similar issue with his car and it was an engine mount... Anyway, Did you get an answer to this question anywhere else?
