HEY RACERGUY!!! YOU ARE RIGHT ON MAN ABOUT THE YOKE!!! I pulled my shaft out and greased it, stuck it back in, in a matter of 20mins, and the slip bump was gone when I took off from a stand still......... THANKS!!!!!!

Usually if greasing the yoke cures it but then it comes back you'll need to replace the slip yoke.

Just came back from the dealer's. They already greased the slip yoke, but it came back. The tech originally couldn't find anything wrong with it, I told them to have another tech drive it. 20 minutes later they called me to say the ordered the clutch packs for the rear. Should be in mon or tues, so I'll let u know whether it worked or not.

Well after greasing the slip yoke the noise came back about a week later. I then called my friend RAMONE!!!!!!! he brought over his favorite product the lucas red and tacky. He put a good amount on my shaft i meen in my shaft and and I slid it in bolted it up and its been allmost three weeks and the noise hasn't *** back yet. I think the regular bearing grease just wasnt thick enough It got worked off. But this Lucas red and tacy stuff is like used bubble gum once it's on it's staying for a while. I hope this helps.
