Again the dirty word "compensator" come to mind do you get the BANG at start up? I get the same clunk when in gear.

Change out the shift linkage. Its worthless. Probably will tighten things up a little bit and you will get firmer and better shifts.

i already replaced shift linkage the 2008 police came with se compensator. it runs fine and starts without any noise, just a clunk when you give it on and off throttle like theres slack in the primary
