Started hearing it last year. Sounds really bad now. Makes the same popping noise when I lightly accelerate. Is it the cv joints or something in the trans? Last year when I jacked up the car and put it in first and turned the tire there was lots of play at the trans not so much at the cv. So What is it that I need to replace? and is it costly? Thanks

Hold on a tick.

If there is "lots of play" when you shove the wheel around, that indicated other problems The wheel should have nearly zero side to side play. Hard to shift COULD be other things as well.

1) check your rear wheel bearings. if they are breaking up, they will make noise and give you the play that you are talking about. You want to make positive that they are good, and what you are describing sounds to me like they are not. Not fixing them could lead to extreme badness.

Now assume it is the transmission, after you have fixed/inspected the other problems. Why spend several hundreds on parts for a tranny that may have been fine - and the noise you heard was a trashed bearing.

Also, if the Ring and Pinion is shot, get a good core tranny and rebuild that. Don't spend thousands on the new parts... thats crazy talk! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
