Howdy all
I have noticed a large noise/sharp pull when I shift into drive (this only seems to happen when I dont have my foot on the brake and shift from P/R to D).
Howdy all
I Had a buddy come over to diagnose. The drive shaft doesnt jump at all, the u joints are tight and the noise is (As close as I can pinpoint) coming from the rear end which was not my first thought (I thought I had a tranny problem)
theres full fluid in both the rear diff and the tranny and the rear diff seems ok
The tranny mount replacement was successfull. However I am still getting that knock/ slap sound when putting it in gear and when on the freeway. In fact it seems that the noise is definitely coming from the rear differential. I am thinking the gears in there have slipped and the clunk/slap noise is generated when shifting into gear / acceleration. Also its loud in the back of the cab when driving, I know from my old chevy van that's indicator the rear gears are goin. I changed the gear oil today, to see if that'd slow the wearing down. I would appreciate any commentary on whether or not y'all think my diagnosis is correct and tips on what to replace, availability of parts etc.
My plan is to price new set of gears--any experience on this???
or to find a rear diff in good shape at this Jeep yard near my house and just do a swap --again any experienced commentary on this dillemma is appreciated
Y'all have a great week!
Y'all are appreciated
