Hmmm, I'll mess with it after I get out of class. I did a couple of more pulls and same thing. 1st gear pull got no knock, downshift pull immediately goes to 6*, did another 1st gear short pull and got 1*.

I'm hoping false knock, it shouldn't be the sway bar since I've had it since I got the car, I've had poly dogbone mounts for a year now no issue, I'm not hearing any noises either. I'll get under it this weekend and make sure everything is tight.
