There is this clunking/popping noise coming from my car when I am in gear's 2nd-6th at any speed above 15mph. I'm hoping you can hear it in the video I have, but it is pretty loud. I'm wondering if this is my rearend, driveshaft problem, or my tranny?
Please help!!!
thanks,

Anyone?

 

That is weird as ****...I mean ****, if something was broken in the rear-end I dont think you'd be moving. Take off the cover and check it out. You don't need to really mess with anything...suspend the car in the air and move your tires...

Or it can be something loose and hitting up against something else...

 

I'm hoping its just something loose. I can shift fine in every gear and the car goes just fine too.
-I'll figure this out some how

 

something definitely GONE. check the u joints while your down there. had a s-10 that had a similar sound, shop said i need a new rearend, i jacked the truck up a few weeks later to find the front u-joint was gone on 1 corner and was rubbin the knockin on the yoke. $7 new u-joint and back to normal,, bastards were gonna charge me $500 to throw a new rear in it

 

sounds like a helicopter

 

i had that same noise and i found out that i broke 4 teeth on my ring
so thats my guess

 

check both U joints, run the car with the rear in the air and try and locate the sound underneath. but dont go near the tires.

 

I'm going to try that this weekend, see if I can pinpoint where the sound is coming from.
Thanks for all the advice guys

 

that was some crazy techno music you were listening to. maybe turn that **** down so we can hear whats wrong.

 

Are you serious, or is that a joke? Because that "crazy techno" is the sound I'm talking about

 

I was kidding.... Let me guess it only happens when your going pretty fast like above 30 or 40?? Im pretty sure it is your rear, get it up on jackstands and take the cover off. Have someone rotate your tires back and forth quickly, im guessing that your spider gears (inside the carrier) have a ton of play, or your ring and pinion have a shitload of play... if not ill tell you what to check next

 

I figured you were...just my dumbass had to be sure!
The sound actually comes when I'm cruising anywhere over 10mph. But I will still check the rearend when I get a chance
-Do you think it's safe to drive it about 35miles to a buddies shop?

 

Id go as slow as possible and obviously dont beat on it...
