I'm obsessive-compulsive man, no rest for me until it shifts smoother than a pair of silk panties. and no boost until those student loans come in lol.

I found some local driveshafts, ill pick one up and see where that takes me

Nice to see that education fundage going for something useful..... LOL

As far as the clunking, definitely check the driveshaft carrier bearing. Also check the diff bushings, and driveaxles for excessive freeplay.

My drivetrain has a slight "clunk" when I first put it in gear while the clutch is still disengaged. I'm guessing it's the syncros just moving in the tranny. Some noises are not necessarily bad. Just typical wear and tear. And a KA drivetrain has ALOT of vibrations in stock form while working properly. That's just how they built them.

That mechanic is full of shit. He's just trying to make some cash. 1500 for a rebuild is ridiculous. Shit new intenals only cost about 300 bucks. All you need is a press and some gear pullers and you can do it yourself.

Or you can just source out another tranny for about 200 bucks. Done.
