Ben,

Soooooo when I got the tailshaft made for the Rodeo I explained exactly what I had and what it was going into and said I would like a sliding joint.... They said, nah, they don't move much, the rubber donut will take up that movement.

So I took their advice and drove it around for about 20,000k. I noticed a bit of a noise when it was loaded up & I towed the big car trailer to Bathurst & back & everytime it hit a bump it would make this light grinding noise in the back of the gearbox. So basically it was pushing the tailshaft into the back of the gearbox....

I took it out and took it back to them and said I want a sliding joint in it..... At my expense of course. So now it works fine but it 'clicked' into mainly 3rd and 4th. I swapped the gearbox for the one that was in the Supercar (had only done 4,000k) and it is perfect.

It's not broken, I just had a better one to put in so I put it in. Just a little bit annoying when you drive it every day.
