Bill, it was smooth with no shake. The driveshaft was perfect length for sure, u-joints were good with fresh grease. The tailshaft looks ok, other than the seal has a slight bend when the yolk came flying out. The shaft looked good with no dents or any other signs of damage. Not touching the loop either. Could the shaft just have failed? seems rare to me that a shaft would twist and break like that.

It is Peter's old car, its not going to be back together for Boise now, all plans have changed, hoping to be ready for Mission.

also guys, I am using solid motor mounts along with the poly trans mount. so strap is not gonna do anything. Are the solid mounts not a good idea?

Grant,
I will e-mail you, thanks
