blew/replaced driveshaft now a ticking sound

[Samson]

First I have a 98 se non-abs that started life as an auto but has been swapped to a 5 speed with a trans out of a 95.

I busted the trans side u-joint and drop my driveshaft, lucky i was only going 25 mph. I replaced it with a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft from shaftmasters.

My car now makes a loud tick under load. It doesnt do it in neutral, reverse or when the wheels are off the ground. It doesnt seem like anything is hitting it but i will check again.

Is it possible i messed up something in the diff or trans when my driveshaft let go? Any ideas on where to check would be greatly appreciated.

Not even a troll.

Check your trans as it only happens under load.

Does it happen in any gear?

[Samson]

It does it in all foward gears until i get to speed.

Is there a way to check with out droping the trans?

I noticed that the drive shaft hit the catalytic converter. Could the exhaust be making this noise.

[SoundEfx]

Anything is possible. Fix that first and see if that was the issue.

Sorry forgot to update this.

It was a combination of noises.

Problem 1. The ebrake cable was hitting the new larger diameter driveshaft.
Solution was quick bend and then fixed.

Problem 2. I broke one of the exhaust hangers just ever so barely that i didn't see it.
Solution was grab a six pack peace offering for a buddy with a welder.
