clucking drive train :(

well, i was driving home last night and as i'm driving down the street i noticed a constant clunking coming from my drive train. It's manual transmission and notice i get the clunking when i'm coasting along and starts from about 2500 rpms. Clucking in in first, second and thrid gear. Due to wind noise when i stick my head out i can't hear it in forth or fifth. when I have the clutch in the cluck goes away. Almost sounds like something is rubbing on the U joint.
Crawled under it and started looking around quick and saw nothing out of ordinary. Started to tug and pull in the drive shaft and seems fine.
Problem is that since it only happens when i drive, i can't really crawl under it to see what going on.
Any suggestions?
take care

might want to check and see if all lug nuts are tight. had a scare one morning hearing weird clicking sounds. looked over everything. finally checked lugs and they weren't even finger tight. tightened up and good to go.

could the rotoflex go bad and if so, how do i check if it's shot or not?
if it's toast, should i just install some u joints or replace the rotoflex?

dent were are you from in canada? look for strings coming off the rotoflex. or just take a pic of it so we could see. i did the U joit conversion and am very happy with it. there is a tech on that ( but you know that, i am shure)

Justin, i would have thought with my aviator, you'd be able to know where abouts i'm from ;)
well.. just got in and looks like there a crack in the rubber where one of the bolt goes through. so looks like i'm in the market for either a rotoflex (peice of rubber) or a flange and a drive shaft. Anyone know where i can source one?

it might be the wheel bearings, i had the same problem with mine a couple of weeks ago, took it to a garage and they said it was the diff. so i took it to another garage and they said it was the wheel bearings, fixed it and now it is doing fine.
