("Someone botched up the transmission..."
I've done all the work on the car in the last 120K miles so I'm proud to claim all botches as my own.)
I'm trying to re-interpret what I'd attributed to tranny slip as the companion flange. My wife has trouble with the "transmission" slipping when pulling away from a stop. I know how to keep that from happening - it only happens on light, partial throttle, if you keep a load on things it was OK and that's how I drive it (95% of the driving is me now-a-days).
Given that the "slight rumble" was when there wasn't a load, and that when the thing finally broke was exactly in the situation when the "transmission" would slip, I'm trying to imagine the tripod joint was slipping a whole 1/3 turn inside the companion flange (or something like that) when it slipped. I'm having a little trouble imagining that, though. I had it apart about 1.5 years ago to change the wheel bearing and it wasn't obviously shot. There was some backlash in there but not that much, about 1.5 inches at the outer tire edge. I also can't think of the mechanism to cause that at slight throttle as opposed to, say, a turn.
Is there anything else in there that could slip like that, meaning I've had plenty of warning this was happening but ignored it?
