 Done deal. New u-joints, rear transmission seal, and crush washers from Delta. 2 quarts of Valvoline VR-1 20-50w. An evening of fun with the vise and sockets. Viola - mystery noise is now a history noise.

The worst part of the job is refilling the transmission. Laying under the oil coated Jensen with one of those lame oil hand pumps... There has GOT to be a better way to fill the transmission.

Now to stir up the flaming hornets nest (we don't really have flaming hornets nests on this board - everybody is too nice here)... I also added about 10 fl. oz. of that famous snake oil, Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, to my aging, crunchy 4-speed transmission.
