Hi everyone,
I hear a rattling sound from the drivetrain when first accelerating in especially 1st and 2nd gears. Sounds like a "wobble", varying with RPM. I changed both U-joints and the driveshaft coupler bearing and rubber support, which helped some but the problem's still there.
The coupling between the transmission and driveshaft is a chunk of rubber (no U-joint here), but I'll be durned if I can get those bolts loose (can't get a good wrench on them, weird angle). As far as I know, the engine mounts have never been replaced, so they are probably squished.

Any thoughts on what to do next would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-- Larry
