drivetrain trouble!
Hey Ford Men,
I have a tink, tink, tink sound coming from underneath my truck when I accelerate at slow speeds. My truck has a Ford 3.03 3 speed manual in it. I looked at the slip yoke and it is loose because I can move it up and down some in the transmission. Also, the rear seal around the slip yoke has started to leak a little oil. My question is have any of you guys ever had to replace a slip yoke or the bushing inside the tailshaft that supports it? And do my problems sound like they are slip yoke or U-Joint related?
Thank you very much,
Josh Payne

I can't help you with replacing the bushing in the tailshaft, don't think I've done one that I remember. I do have a truck that has a pretty much shot slip yoke, but it doesn't make noise while accelerating. It only seems to make noise while decelerating (Looks like it's spelled wrong, but it's pretty early in the morning LOL). It will go away for a day or two if I grease it up really good. Sounds like it might be more like a U-joint possibly. Make sure your checking them without any load on them...block the wheels and put the transmission in neutral. If you can grease them, give that a try. A dry one will make noise like that.
