<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>One Saturday take 30 minuites, crawl under there and remove the drive shaft. Check for binding in the U-Joints. If they are good, Then learn to shift more smoothly (We are all guilty of the hard shifts from time to time!). I get a "Clank every once and a while as well, and attribute it to being in a hurry (harsh shift). Good luck!
