My exhaust just slid right out? What a breeze this was so far.
Well, I did all this to try and find the cause of two things: a) that suspicious light clunk on first clutch engagement in first grear from a stop; and b)a heavier clunk an high rpm shifts in 2nd and 3rd.
Not shown is the driveshaft which also just came right out.
To me the axle flanges on each side of the diff seem to have a bit too much play. I'm feeling about 1/32 of an inch there.
I've not a clue of any problem as of yet, and the frame bridges for the diff mount appear solid and unbroken.
The good news so far is that this "new" car of mine was well maintained. The underside looks great.
