Transmission "clunk"

[zj96sc]

I have not been able to recreate it, thankfully.
This is a manual, so I am not sure what you mean by "FWD"

i mean a gear that makes the car go forward. something that will load the driveshaft in the opposite direction. i've had bad u-joints that lead to clunking under reversing after using a forward gear, or returning to a forward gear after reversing.

Oh, ok.
I'll try that tomorrow.

Though today no noise/clunk. I went from reverse to 1st at least two times... Nothing.
Am I misunderstanding you?

No i'm sure you get what I'm saying and that probably isn't the issue. The idea is you want to load the u-joints in the driveshaft with opposing torque to see if the needle bearings went bad and that's where your clunk is coming from.

if you've cycling from f/r and r/f and it didn't recreate, that's probably not it.

Ok. Got it. Thanks.
