Ticking Noise Coming From Transmission Driving Me Crazy

No, I didn't notice any vibration that would indicate a bad u-joint.

Could it be a fluid supply problem, like sucking air but not able to feel it fluid/air being sucked up type flutter?

An exhaust leak that opens under load.

Trans mount maybe.

No tire bubbles.

Are you pretty sure it couldn't be a dry ujoint that isn't trashed yet?



Just trying to cover a few of the not so ordinary possibilities now.
