Vibration Under Accel.

[TurboPhoon]

I have recently had a vibration under light acceleration. It seems to only happen when I am geting on the free way (the light accel is from the stupid ass utah driver in front of me that dosent realize that they are entering the freeway untill they hit the last 1/4 of the on ramp

). Thinking that it was a u-joint this saturday I put some new ones on the back. I noticed that the vibration wasnt as bad or as often but is still there. I want to pull the front drive line to see if it goes away (will this hurt anything?). Also I notices that the rear pinion seal is seaping a little, could it be my pinion bearings (i am changing the fluid this friday to check)? Could it be form the tranny, form what I have noticed it only happens in 3rd gear( I have never heard of this but could it?)? Any info would help

Thanks

Re: Vibration Under Accel.

I just climbed under her and felt for play in the front propshaft and I can feel some play.
I am going to remove it to make sure it is the problem
Dose any one have a Gilbert propshaft they would be willing to part with????

thanks guys

Re: Vibration Under Accel.

I'm dealing with the same thing, only I have a new Gilbert propshaft-front axles-front diff rebuilt-new rear driveshaft-and the rear end is completely rebuilt.

All of the above have about 1k on them.

The front output of my t-case has a little play and/or the T/C lockup is going bad.

Hope you have better =(cheaper) luck than me getting it on the first or second thing.

It's not bad and passengers don't notice but it bugs me.
