<P>One Saturday take 30 minuites, crawl under there and remove the drive shaft. Check for binding in the U-Joints. If they are good, Then learn to shift more smoothly (We are all guilty of the hard shifts from time to time!). I get a "Clank every once and a while as well, and attribute it to being in a hurry (harsh shift).&nbsp;Good luck! Check those U-Joints!</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Subject: syncro driveshaft 'clunk!'
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 10:28:01 EST
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hello Listees! After the successful replacement of 5 of my CV joints and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;replacement of worn out ball joints I still have a "clunking" sound sometimes
<DIV></DIV>&gt;when I shift. I assume this is the driveshaft. Should I be concerned or is
<DIV></DIV>&gt;this a normal Syncro sound? What advice do you have on this? Any ideas are
<DIV></DIV>&gt;appreciated!
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Salud,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Loretta
