grinding/howling sound coming from the ...........?


Recommended Posts

   i hope that in the future i can be of as much help to mj owners as the people on here have been to me over the years. the issue I'm dealing with now ( well, one of them) is a grinding kind of howl that at first i thought was coming from the d35. ( the one that's been run very hard without maintenance almost daily for many years, sometimes with 2/3 cord of wood on board, on 35s)  i'm having a difficult time telling where the sound is actually coming from. i took the front driveshaft out for a couple of days and that made no difference in noise. i now really think that it is the output on the tc. ever since the spring-over the slip yoke has not been long enough to get a good grip on the splines. ( a tc drop of 1.5" did help quite a bit and also stopped the vibration, but still didnt make it insert quite enough and remained sloppy). it was suggested that i should get a yoke off a tj because they are longer and i always wanted to do that but haven't got around to it yet.  my question is, can i just pull the output out of a parts tc that i have on hand - both 231s, get the longer yoke and be done ? - assuming that is my problem.
