Is this normal looking? (Driveshaft to trans connection) Is this an acceptable amount of yoke sticking out of the trans? I'm not sure what the acceptible range is and I'm terrible w/ transmissions.
Main reason I'm asking is because I'm getting a terrible popping noise at low speeds (pulling into garage, parking spot, etc) when turning the wheel... It sounds like metal/bushings binding and everything I've gathered so far has told me upper shock mounts/isolator, but I'm trying to eliminate any other possibilities before I take the shock assembly apart. Any input on this is much appreciated becasue the popping noise is getting pretty bad.
Second reason I ask is because coasting at low rpms when driving, say 6th gear at 40mph, the car lunges like the driveshaft is out of balance. Under load/gas though, theres no vibration.

Yokes are not heat treated & the output spline of the T56 is. I have seen yokes with a "notch" worn into them. The result would be the pop/ grunt you describe when the yoke tries to plunge. It hits the wear notch and reacts when it moves......check your yoke for this.
