My 64 only has 29K original miles, but obviously it sat most of it's life unused. I just recently got it on the road, and there is an annoying noise coming from what sounds like the trans. It is in all 4 gears, and is on accel., and decel., but quiets down if you are just loping along without any load applied. Someone has told me it is probably the third member, and the noise is coming thru the driveshaft, making it sound like the trans. I dropped the oil from the trans and refilled with 80-90, and it made no difference. There was no appreciable metal in the oil when I did it. What is my next step in diagnosing this? Could it be the carrier bearing in the driveshaft??......or is it more likely the rear-end? I'm trying to eliminate all the simple stuff before I tear into the rear. Thanks in advance!
