Loud Tinking Noise!! I have also posted this in the "General Maintenance and Repairs" section
OK, so whenever I put my car into gear, I hear a loud "tink" from the driveshaft. It sometimes repeats itself a few times while accelerating, until I start to level my speed. I started to get annoyed yesterday so I took it to a local transmission shop, and they checked the U-joints, they are fine. So then they started the car, and hoisted it up and put it into gear, it "tinked" again when put into gear. Then they tried holding onto the driveshaft with both hands and decent force, then it stopped doing it. Thye mentioned something about a dampener around the driveshaft that could be hitting itself inside?? Does this make sense?? I was wondering what I should do to correct this??
ANY HELP OR IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
