ISSUE: A "clicking" or "popping" noise from the driveshaft during transmission engagement or when accelerating from a stop may be caused by inadequate tubeto-yoke bonding on the aluminum driveshaft.







ACTION: To correct this, install a new aluminum driveshaft with an improved tube-to-yoke bond. Refer to the appropriate model year Shop Manual for driveshaft removal and installation procedures. Refer to the driveshaft application charts on pages 38 and 39 of this TSB for the correct part numbers.
