i know my stripe was at least partly ATF, but i think it also had a fair amount of grease in it. but a couple weeks ago when i was trying to diagnose my broken pinion gear that was howling but showed no other symptoms, i decided to replace the tranny rear seal and bushing, as well as both u-joints. fortunately, my van only has 2 u-joints, and both are the conventional style

Oh i see. I wish mine only had 2, i could have had the stupid thing done in a day rather than a week. Doesn't help when the parts store gets the wrong u-joints 3 times though. But that was being done while my trans was being rebuilt so i suffered through it.
This is the front side of the driveline
CV ball joint
The back u-joint. Most looked like this and were missing half or all the needle bearings...
I'm sure the new joints were the wrong ones here but i was so fed up once i got the right ones i didn't take a picture. I just wanted it done.

No problem, it is more of a cleanliness thing for me, i don't clean it up per say but i like to know it's there so i don't touch it if i am not trying to get real dirty.

Well have a good weekend guys. My plan is tomorrow bright and early to go help fix a Buick, then off to a grad party for a friend. After that i will probably end up working on TGM for a bit.

Friday Funny:
Subject: The daughter's last request at this house.....
My daughter walked into the family living room last night and said, "Dad,
cancel my allowance immediately, forget the college tuition, rent my room
out, throw all my clothes out of the window; take my TV, iPhone, iPod, and
my laptop. Please take any of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash
Converters. Then sell my car, take my front door key away from me, and throw
me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don't
forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to anyone that wants
it."
Well... she didn't put it quite like that. She actually said...
"Dad, meet my new boyfriend, Muhammed. We're going to work together on
President Obama's re-election campaign."
