A cluck when I decellerate... ?

[Cobra1894]

I just replaced my rear end with a used one. I replaced the axle bearings, axles, Rear diff cover, and the Ring & Pinion looked good. I had a problem with the tailshaft seal leaking, But I have since replace it. I think its holding up. However I am getting a cluck when I go to shift at high RPM (4K+) and occassionally I get a vibration... The vibration will come and go, but the cluck is kinda common...Something with the drivetrain, but Im not sure what to check. Ideas????

i had the exact same thing, a clunk under the under the car upon acceleration and then it would happen again once i let of the gas. It turned out to be the throw-out bearing. My only problem now is that I will wear out a throw out bearing in about 8 months with normal driving

Hmmm... I noticed a ball bearing in the bell housing.... I replaced my clutch about a year ago with new bearings... Is this common amoung Stang owners? Just a king cobra clutch... I also have a wierd crakling sound coming form the clutch area now. How would the throw out bearing cause the clunck?

Do you have a chicken in the trunk? It will cluck.

Have you inspected your U-joints? If they have slop, the will make noise as the DS is loaded and unloaded (like as happens when you are accelerating and then hit the clutch). And worn U-joints can allow excessive run-out (ergo vibration).

Good luck.
