I got a chance to look under the car and take the driveshaft off today. The front U-joint was shot, so I put a new one in. After installing it, the ride is smooth as silk, however, when I
looked at the front yoke of the driveshaft, there were small metal shavings along the front of the splines....not good. So this weekend, if I make the 2 hour drive, I will have to find
another Sunny 5 speed and put it in. The transmission is still making a lot of noise while in gear, even when the clutch in, the fluid was full, but a little dirty for only 6 months old.
It's only when the shifter is pulled out of gear that the noise stops. I'm gonna ride 5th the whole way home (unless I HAVE to downshift). I've got my work cut out for me for this weekend/
next week!
