A fricking "U" joint did this?.... 'who knew'.
Dang, learn something new every day. I
don't unserstand the mechanics behind that

Wait!, you;re not the one suggesting U-joints,
you're the original problem poster. So yeah..
Every "few seconds" isn't U-joints, I just don't
buy that. I'm thinking engine alignment, binding,
coupler, dog-clutch coming disengaged, or
something like that. So tell me, does it sould
the same as the "clunk" (or thump as you say)
you get when putting it in gear? When was the
last time the shifter cable on your Coba replaced?
The 89-ish Cobra's shifter mechanism gets very
"vague" with old/stretched shifter cables. Also,
and so you know, this is a "shift lever" retrofit,
or upgrade that OMC had for that year. (this
device is inside the lower unit.
