chirp/tap under acceleration: what would you check first?
Well, got under and checked the flex plate bolts -- all were nice & tight. Belt dressing didn't eliminate the noise either, but I didn't get as far as checking the u-joints real well. They felt good when I greased them a couple of days ago, but I'll give them a closer look this weekend... -
