    bad/out of line center bearing on the driveshaft, bad u-joint/flex coupler or bad tranny mounts is the usual cause

    hmm had all the driveshaft stuff done over a year ago.. and the problem isn't recurring.. it just did it that once.. what i was looking for was whether there's any relation to the current problem i am having? :o

    Hey Adam -- since they pulled the tranny to rebuild it, thereby requiring the removal of the driveshaft, there's the potential that it was either mishandled or not properly installed. Specifically, the center bearing has to be preloaded about 5mm towards the trans. They might've forgotten to do that part

    best, whit
