Slack in the drive somewhere

(1/5) > >>

Leigh:
This has most likely been asked before but when setting off and changing gear I get the knock from somewhere in the drive train. Is there a method of finding out where it is coming from? I know this slack can come from several places but what is the best way to find it?

There is a ver slight crunch when going into 3rd gear, could this be related?

I can overcome the slack if I'm gentle on gear changes and on the clutch with low revs but I know this isn't solving the problem.

Thanks in advance

Hangover:
Well my 90 300tdi has done the same since i bought it a year ago,it doesn't appear to be getting much worse and i've check everything obvious,best try and ignore it till something obvious happens or replace the complete drive train,i'm going for the first option as it's cheaper.

i had this...check the prop u/j's for play,check both the diff flanges from play as my rear bearing had collapsed.try moving the flanges up and down left to right and in and out.also check the gear box out put for play.also a rotation of the flanges to check for backlash.

on mine i found both props nakt,rear diff nakt and now the front diff is knocking....
