Like Larry, I also have a clunk from the rear when I change from reverse to
first and I've also gotten it when I've gone popped the clutch from first
to second.  In addition, I get a rrrRRRRrrrRRR sound when driving.

Print isn't very good at sounds is it?  What I'm trying to describe is a 
growling sound that varies in pitch and volume.

All the signs of bad U joints in a driveshaft.  The problem is that this is
a TR7 and the driveline doesn't have replaceable U joints.

What are my options?  Can the thing be fixed or do I need to replace the entire 
driveline?  Can I bring the driveshaft to a driveshaft place and ask them to 
cut it, put in real U joints and weld it back together?  Could the noise 
be something other than my U joints?

Thanks.
