Slip yoke spewing

1990 22re 5spd

What's the deal with the slip yoke spewing grease? Take a look



Also when I take off from a standstill in first, unless I get my RPM/throttle/clutch let off perfectly I get this horrible shuttering/vibration. Could this be a failing U joint? I checked for play but they seem good in that regard. Any other way to diagnose them? I might just replace them anyway since they're probably at least 15 years old and u joints are a cheap fix. If it makes any difference I don't get the shuttering when downshifting or up shifting.

A worn out clutch, oil on the clutch, or a new clutch without a resurfaced flywheel can cause shuddering when first taking off. If the U-joints have no play I wouldn't replace them, it's cheap but a pain in the butt. If you still have Toyota joints keep them, they are better than any aftermarket ones and will last a lot longer, just keep them greased. The slip yoke has no seal, just grease it every oil change and when you go through water. Don't worry about a little grease splatter, it's just automatic rust preventative.

lol, rust prevention!

Yeah, I made the error or over lubing this slip joint, too...Good news is the undercoating it's providing is keeping this truck rust free!

She'll be parked over the winter so maybe I'll take a look at the clutch then. Thanks!
