MPGvan Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i am having the same problems locating loud grinding noises on my 82 brat.. ive replaced both front axles and softened some of the noise up front.. i am still having problems locating loud gear noise cumming from *what i think is* the transmission , U-Joints , or the rearend... will it damage anything to remove the rear drive line and drive the car on freeways for a few days?? this will allow me to better locate where these strange gear noises are cumming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does, you can't just remove it or all your transmission gear oil will leak out. With the two-part ones you can just remove the rear section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my driveshaft was going bad it made these clunky noises. But going slow and straight if I put it in 4wd the clunking went away or changed.
