Q: ok simple tests for u joint problems. put the transmission in 1st with parking brake on. let out clutch apply gas normally .. hear klunk put transmission in reverse repeat clutch and gas .. hear klunk again probably a u joint. i have 2000 and replaced u joints two were very bad the others were on last legs. do you notice any low frequency vibrations while driving at highway speeds notice any noises when moving slowly like crickets chirping u joints most likely. i recently bought a 2001 dakota v-6 with 5-speed manual transmission. this is the 1st manual tranny ive had in about 10 years. heres the problem when i let the clutch out i sometimes hear a single klunk coming from somewhere in the drivetrain. it is most noticeable when letting the clutch out when making a turn. i took it back to the dealer and they said is was the backlash in the rearend and it was normal. and that it would stop occuring when i get better at using the clutch. is the dealer right does anyone else have this problem .
