Fellow Scions,
Last weekend I replaced both the axle shaft u-joints, neccesitated by
the virtual
explosion of the left side one. The prop shaft was changed @ 3000 miles ago.
I can
still hear what sounds an awful lot like the precursor of a u-joint going out.
Can this be something
in the diff? It is the original 4.11:1 from my 72 Spitfire MK IV. I have
swapped out the standard
three rail four speed for a J type O/D unit from a 76 and the speedo gearing in
the trans is matched with
the 3.89:1. This being the case, I'm not opposed to swapping out the 4.11 for
a freshly rebuilt
3.89, but until I find a reputable source here in the SF bay area (any
reccomendations?),
I need to know if this is really the source of my clunking noise.
Any suggestions, comments are greatly appreciated.
