- I purchased my first TR6 a few weeks ago. A 1974 Carmine Red, rust free and strong runner. I have enjoyed it immensely and look forward to keeping it in good shape. I am a novice mechanic but willing

- Crawl under and look at the u-joints on the drive shaft. My bet is that one is shot. Not a big deal to replace, but it helps to have the proper tools. For this one I'd use a local mechanic to instal

- I would add one more thing to Dick's post. If you find a "hitch" while the first wheel is off the ground, it could be one of the 2 joints on the rear axle (for that wheel) or one on the drive shaft.

- I wonder if the "catastophic" nature of the severe clunking might be related to the notorious diff mounts. I have never had a diff mount failure so I don't know the symptoms. Just a thought. Rich C.

- and in so. I hear low friend Rick, I concur with the otther advice that it's probably a U joint. However, if they seem good, you might check the RH front differential mount; this mount frequently bre
