Hi guys,
I was driving my 76 fj40 the other day when I noticed a clunk. I was concerned so I limped home.
I got the rear end up on jack stands and chalked the front tires. I started it and put it in 4th gear. I noticed a clunk for every rotation of the output shaft. What do you think is the cause of this clunk? Ive heard of them whining and growling, but not a clunk. The only time it does not do it is when the trany is in neutral. The case has oil in it, and the u joints look and feel good. Im going to drain the case and see if I lost preload on the output nut and the input shaft nut. Any suggestions????
Thanks,
Eric
