Check input shaft seal and small-ish dome shaped seal inside each
flange on tranny, (where inboard CV bolts to) inspect cross shaft for
play/wear, (especially bushings on Driverside end..... make sure the
bolt holding these bushings in position is doing its' job) if ok add
some grease to both ends of cross shaft, inspect throwout bearing
tube, (not loose or excessively worn.... add a little grease to it
when putting things together) throw out bearing, (turns easily, but
doesn't spin too long and/or have excessive play) make sure throw out
bearing is installed correctly.

Cheers,

Neil.
