That could be true and it could be false. I would get it on a lift and go through the gears and see if there is movement in the u joints.

it is possible. the drive shaft is engaging a lot of torque from the engine and the u joints may be loose/damaged so basically they are %26quot;slamming%26quot; the u joints as it turns to go forward or reverse.



Hope that helps.
