Remove the tailshaft housing from the transmission so you can put it on your 
workbench and get better access to it.  You may also have some wear on the 
driveshaft yoke that will require replacment.  A good friend is going thru this 
problem now.  He replaced the yoke and bushing 1,000 miles ago and it's worn 
out again.  He has shipped his driveshaft to Atlanta to get it balanced and 
checked to see if it's warped or bent.  It was shortened a year ago by a local 
machine shop when he installed a 700-r4 transmission but there is no local shop 
that can balance it.

The U-joints seemes fine. But the brass bushing in the output shaft have far to much side play! So I guess that the drive shaft is unbalanced causing the damage to the bushing. Do I have to tear out the whole gearbox to change that bushing?   Best regards ______________________________ Chevelle gearheads http://hem.bredband.net/chevellegearheads/     ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Haggard To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 3:17 PM Subject: Re: Re: [Chevelle-list] Vibrations??? While you are replacing the U-joints check to see how much side play is in your yoke, the transmission may need a new bushing in the output shaft.  This can be caused by an out of balance driveshaft.  Been their, done that.

When they go bad,they will shake the vehicle as you describe.
