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

In my best *old musical* voice:
Tink ,Tink,Tink went the U-Joints,
Clang,Clang,Clang went the bells,
Clunk, Clunk, Clunk went my driveshaft,
As I drove, I hoped to see a wishinnng well !
