[QUOTE="IllCobra, post: 16292718, member: 77366"] So hopefully I can save some time and money by making this thread. I had a leaking pinion flange seal that I fixed, but after test driving the car I noticed a clunk noise that I can feel after letting off the gas and getting back on it. Strange thing about this is that it only does it in 5th and 6th gear... How the heck can I tell if it's the Pinion Flange or U-Joint(s)? Is there something else it can be that I should also look into? I should note that I had a brand new Dorman kit that included the pinion seal, flange, and nut. This Dorman kit is a total waste of money! Neither the flange or seal fit and I didn't bother with the nut. I had to order a new Ford OEM seal and reused the old flange (nothing was wrong with the old flange I just wanted to replace it while I was there). The thing is, I hammered on the old flange to try and get the new flange to fit. Didn't work, obviously. Could this have damaged it? I feel that the symptoms I am hearing/feeling points to the u-joints, but hammering on the flange couldn't have been good? Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
