rx-lost 2nd gen

my car chirps and kind of sound like it's got a coat hanger cought on the driveshaft and it's starting to ding when you put it in gear . I thought it was probably a univ. joint but it sounds like its right in between the trany and the front u- joint. I'm going to lube everything chang the diff fluid check my diff. mounts . If anyone has experience with these symptoms please help. And it's worse when I get on it.

Im gonna say transmission or driveshaft. The rear diff mount would sound like a loud THUD, and sound and feel as if you'd been hit in the *** when you take off or decelerate.

BTW there is no "lube" on these cars, you just check fluid levels in the tranny and that's it. IF a driveshaft ujoint is bad it all has to be replaced, there is no way to remove the ujoint.

TO check the DS, rotate it(car out of gear, brake off) and check for play in the bearings up adn down and side to side along eac h axis, with each bearing having 2 axis.

I may have an auto driveshaft, and I should for sure have an automatic transmission if you happen to need that.

I also do 5sp conversions.
