Got a 99 4x4 4.0 5 speed manual ranger. It's clunking when I go from a stop, and sometimes when I'm going down the road if I tap the gas while it's in gear I can get it to clunk. I've heard it while it's in neutral and I'm rolling down a hill or something like that. Greased the slip yoke with ford ptfe lubricant. I cleaned the splines pretty good then just doused it in grease so I think i did it right. U joints are tight no play in them. I can move my tranny mount up and down more than I think I should be able to would this be the cause?
Btw it doesn't do it every time, it's kinda random but it happens at least once every time I drive it. It's been getting worse, it used to just only do it when I took off from a stop.
I can feel it and hear it in the middle of my truck, though it's hard to pinpoint. Could even possibly be up front, I've got new ball joints upper and lower, new stabilizer bar end links, timken hub assemblies, tie rods seem pretty good, they have a little play in them. Got new shocks too, I don't think it's them it seems more drivetrain related.
