The clicking/knocking noises I was hearing started my wondering if I had
messed up the CV joints last year when I repacked them, so last night I had a
look:

With one wheel off the ground, trans in neutral, there is a definite
knocking/rattling sound as one slowly turns the wheel. Crawling under, I
listened while rocking the week back and forth. No noise from the CVs, but
from the transaxle instead. (big surpise). In fact, I could quite clearly hear the
sound coming from the nose cone of the trans, when turning the wheel back
and forth, it sounded as if the shaft in the trans was slopping back and forth in
the nosecone.

I'm not what this means, but thought I'd relate it to the list in case someone
else has a similar noise. (which translates to a steady whine at speeds
above 25mph).
