Subaru_dude Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 i replaced my transmission mounts to get rid of an annoying squeaking noise coming from under the car. I drove it after I got em in, no difference. Still made that annoying noise. After more proding around under the car, I think my gear linkage is tapping/scratching against the driveshaft. Why would it be doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heep70 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Could it be a u-joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgd73 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 There may be a cover nearly over front u-joint (if its the 1987 i see in your post). wiggle stuff around, it looks like a cup coming out of back of tranny over drivershaft.My 87 soob did the noise when yoke, cap and berring loosened up.I also had a "trick" exhaust pipe that barely touched the driveshaft at sound resignator when hot, and also when all 4 tires were not the same.Those pesky noises......

For what it's worth, (not much) that cover thingy you speak of is a "grease slinger". Pyro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru_dude Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 may be a dumb question but..... what's a yoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgd73 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 holds the universal at the cap and pin berrings underneath it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
