If you're referring to the 'thump' sound from the rear of the chassis, it is a snubber deal that cushions the differential as the nose rises under heavy acceleration.

Don't pop the clutch out so fast...that thump is the rearend trying to depart the car....be more smooth or second gear may be the next thing to go 'thump' and be gone.

Folks just need to realize that the chances of a failure will increase when you use abusive shifting techniques. Personally, I don't "speed shift" my WRX or launch it hard (i.e. no weekend trips to the drags). I may not be able to achieve the 0-60, 1/4 mile times posted in Motor Trend magazine, but I never figured I could without being abusive. I'm still able to have loads of fun with my car and I can row through the gears relatively quickly without beating on my tranny. The WRX doesn't respond well to an overly-aggressive touch.
If you're gonna play.....you gotta pay.
