loud clank sound

I replaced my rear driveshaft last week. It drove fine for 4 or five days, and today as I was pulling away from a stop light there was a loud clank. Next stop light, the same thing happened. Any ideas what might be causing this or where to begin? (My bronco is a manual transmission) Also, this past ...

Pre-Christmas Snowstorm

We hardly EVER get any snow in south central Virginia near the North Carolina line. The Bronco II was incredible getting around in it. I had a blast playing in the snow for several days and never got hung up.

Re: Manual Transmission question

Ok, I noticed that the clicking or ticking sound is not coming from when I let the clutch out, rather when there is strain going up hill, etc. I went up a very steep hill in first and heard a repetitive clicking (about 3-4 clicks per second). Do universal joints make that sound when they are going b...

Re: Manual Transmission question

Thanks! You're probably right. It has a suspension lift and some fairly large tires, so I would imagine that it is probably more on the clutch that most vehicles I have driven. I am excited though, my first vehicle was a bronco II (1989 automatic) and that was in 1993. So I have now come full circle...

Manual Transmission question

Hi, I recently bought a 1987 bronco 2 with 5 speed. I noticed today that when I am letting the clutch out on an incline, I hear a repetitive clicking sound and today on a particular steep grade I smelled an awkward smell almost like when breaks heat up too much going down a steep grade. Any ideas wh...
