All this talk of.. well missing balls, reminds me of my current problems.
As you may or may not recall, I lost a circlip on the front yoke which then
threw a u-joint cup, allowing the u-joint to shift to one side throwing
everything way out of balance. All at about 4000 rpm. I got the car home on
a trailer and up on jack stands.
When I pulled the drive shaft out about six inches of the transmission tail
case came with it. A nice clean break. Ouch..
Now the missing ball tie in... When I pulled the oil drain plug out. Three
ball bearings and something that looks like a big roller bearing plopped out
with the oil.
Would now be a good time for that 5 speed?
