Has anyone ever heard of or replaced an intermediate shaft on a B-series motor?? THing is, My GSR swap in my hatch was fine for a couple of months. I then noticed that it made a clucking noise when I turned left..
Here are the symptoms:
When turning left, I hear a clucking noise from my right (shallow, possibly intermediate shaft) When a friend sits in the passenger seat, he hears the clucking coming from the left.

When turning right and accelerating the same time, no noise whatsoever.

When on the highway going 60 (steady 60 mph) no noise. When i accelerate it in 5th, i hear the clucking noise again!

Now here's the catch, upon doing the motor swap, I did change the passenger side axle (reman). The driver side axle did have play when first swapped in, so i decided to change it a week ago.

Being that both axles are changed and are remanufactured. COULD IT BE THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT??? Only opinions I have heard were that, the passenger axle may be bad on the inner joint. Or, rare cases, the bearing on the intermediate shaft is bad.

Please HELP. Any advice or perspectives, experience on this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yeah, let the damn chicken outa yer engine bay!! J/K, nah, I dunno what that is...

 

This really really sounds to me like a bad diff. I'm not saying it's the half-shaft or isn't. But usually when the diff starts to go then you will get a clunking noise. Also check all your lug nuts.
