"Play" in drivetrain?

Any ideas???

I have a 2002 F250 PSD with 75K. Just bought it and love it. When going from a stop and accelerating, there is a slight play in the drivetrain. Not necessarily a "clunk" in the driveshaft (I dont think) but just a little "slip" or "play". It is barely noticeable but I do feel it. Anyone have any ideas? I did find out, today, that the previous owner has never changed the trans fluid. I bought a filter today and plan on putting new ATF in it this weekend. Any ideas would be appreciated.

you need to drop the rear driveshaft and grease the splines where the driveshatft connects to the other one, do a search on it and you will find out how to do it, takes about 20-25 min to do.
