alright my trans has been weak for a while
works fine but when i have it in gear and not on the gas it makes these cherping and squeaking noises??? oh yeah my throw out bearing is going off the deep end.
today i went to go give a co worker a ride home and my car was performing like shit and when i went to put the car in neutral it'll make these vibrations coming from under the car..i'm thinking its the drive shaft?
i work at jiffy lube so i have the access to go under my car when i need to..i found the driveshaft has a lotta turning play..whats that mean [Confused] it doesn't go side to side just turns a little like a inch. please give me a insentive of where to start..
thanks

Turning play in the rotational direction its suppose to turn in is normal. That's not drive shaft play, thats play in your differential.

the gear oil i pulled out appeared to be really old,and black with very fine silverish tone to it.
i'm sure it never has been changed since when i pulled the plug off it hissed at me. 125k miles.
