If I could pick your collective brains for a bit, I have an odd "snap" coming from the front of the car. It sounds like its on the firewall side, right on the centerline. It happens on hard acceleration or lifting at speed. I can "feel" it through the brake pedal when braking. It sounds like something is relaxing (snapping on) then rotating forward (snapping off). It's on jackstands now, and the only noise that I can hear when under the car is in the diff area when the car is in neutral and I rotate the driver's axle. When the car is in gear, there is a more pronounced sound from the middle of the car, but I haven't been under the car and had somebody turn the passenger axle thus far.

All of the engine and tranny mount bolts are tight, and I am at a loss. A friend has suggested the passenger support bearing, but I have other stuff to do before I remove the y-pipe and look at those bolts' torque.

There are also a couple of the "waffles" on top of the transmission adjacent to the shift turret that have fluid in them that I think are the result of a slight overfill.
Any hints about what to look for?

How is that possible with the fill being on the lower front? You also can't overfill with the car on a level surface.
