87 B2200 5-spd manual
yesterday, i got a rear shaft seal since i could see the old one separated and slid out on the yoke.
etched where one bolt met pinion to reinstall as it was, in case things were balanced or something. dropped driveshaft, pulled old seal straight out, put new seal in, slid yoke back in transmission, reinstalled on pinion, and reattached carrier bearing as it all came off. refilled trans with 75W-90 to make up for what came out with seal.
today, when i went to drive it, it clunks. ive only moved it back and forth in my driveway a few times, but it makes bad clunking noises from around the transmission. sounds like what i'd assume shitty pinion angle sounds like, or a driveshaft rammed too far up in the tranny might sound like...
its all installed the same as before. the carrier bearing was pushed to the end of its oval bolt holes, as it was before, so there was no real room for adjustment to begin with.... fluid topped off til drips out fill hole... no change in noises regardless of ride height. happens in reverse and forward.
