Driving shaft clunk 140-160 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be Ignace Speybrouck on  Wed Nov 15 17:35 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have a 1967 144S in almost perfect shape. It is just back from the paintshop where 4 coats of urethane got on a completly stripped car. Nice.

I had a clunking noise coming from the center of the driving shaft, where the spline from the rear part slips in the front part.

I replaced the 3 universal joints, the center bearing and the rubber holder. When I take off from a standing start, sometimes (1 time on 4) I will get a clunking noise like if someone is hitting the floor with a hammer. The frequence is quite fast and it disappears seconds after appearing. Starting from rest and turning right it will do it almost all the time on startup.

What is happening under my car ? I can't figue out what !

Any help greatly appreciated !

Take care

Ignace
