89 xr7 need help with u-joints
Well I am now the proud owner of an 89 xr7 5-speed w/70k mi. Got a little work to do though. When engaging the gears I can hear a thud comming from the rear end and am hoping it is just the u-joints needing replaced. Also clutch plates feel a little week and will probably have to upgrade them also. Has anyone else had that clunking noise when the rear end engages? Hopefully its not the gears in the pumpkin. How easy/hard is it to replace the rear u-joint connecting the drive shaft to the pumpkin? Price?
