But since they were using a Plymouth, they had to modify the u-joints to break.

I think they used a Ford Crown Vic as the auto test and a Mazda or something as the manual test.

No support bearing.

The thing that bothers me is the thunk I feel at about 25 mph when letting of the gas...

Well, when it did that, it killed the engine and I had to coast with no brakes and no steering into a drive way. I put it in park, and started it. It took a few seconds to restart, then it was fine.
Now, the transmission seems to still shift fine, now really strange noises, no slippage in forward or reverse, nothing seems broken right now.
Quite obviously, I am worried about the t-case and the OD unit. I noticed that after all this the OD unit, at low speed (less then 40 mph), seems to kind of "thunk" when coasting. Now, this could just be me being paranoid and listening to any little thing. I did just recently tighten the TV cable and that may be contributing to it, I guess...

I also noticed that apparently when this happened my steering gear PISSED fluid. Like, dumped half the PS resivor bad. When I had started driving again, I noticed my steering really "airly." So I get where I was headed and check the PS fluid, half gone. Look under the truck and see half of the box covered and a little drip.
So far it doesn't seem like any more has leaked out, but I have some errands to run today, and I'll check then too.



Anybody that has any insight on all this crap, would be appreciated.
