please help... 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

Check your ujoints. Especially if when you let off the gas until you slow down quite abit, and then give it gas and you here the clinking sound. almost always a u-joint problem. B:-staun

a u joint with play will cause a shudder during the first
bit of accelleration then when you really get those joints
moving a vibration will occur. I check u joints
in vehicles I buy by puting it in a lower gear then
continuosly abruptly hammer the gas and if theres a knock/clunk
kinda noise the pumpkins no good or the ujoints are messed.
I also have a mysterious tinking noise but theres no trouble
in the drivetrain. sounds like a dinner bell. but these trucks
are old and make weird noises,have problems one day and you think
it needs fixin but the next day it runs like a top.the other
stuff you mention i dont know anything about.
