I sure could use some help. My 1991 Land Cruiser (180K miles) has had a driveline clunk since before I bought it 6 years ago. After reading posts on this site I've tried several cures, like lubing the splined shaft, new lube in the front and rear diffs, nothing seemed to work. It always clunks when shifting from drive to reverse and reverse to drive and it has a clunk most times when letting off the gas or putting on the gas at slower speeds. I can't make out exactly where the clunk is but it seems like in the mid or rear area of the drivetrain. There is apparent slop in the driveshaft going into the rear diff, no apparent slop in any of the u-joints (which I've also lubed). If I knew for sure it was the rear diff I might spend the money to replace the whole thing but I'm not sure and I'm getting tired of fixing the wrong thing. I'm also getting older and making repairs is not as easy as it used to be. I'd love it if someone near me knew enough to diagnose and repair the issue but the dealership can't even tune the 80 up and I have no confidence in any of the local shops to know much more about this old vehicle. Can I get some advice, either about the possibility of the slop in the rear diff being the cause or maybe even a competent technician within a couple hundred miles of me? I live in the metro Detroit area. Maybe even a savvy DIY tech from IH8MUD is within driving distance and could use a project and some income? I love this vehicle and want to keep it but I've grown tired and worried about the clunk. Thanks, Bob Nancarrow (nanthor@hotmail.com)
