Last night while driving on the highway I started to notice a sound developing in the driveline. It only occurred when I lifted off the gas and coasted with the car still in gear. This morning my wife drove the car to work and called to tell me that it is now a pretty good vibration when you let off the gas, and it gets worse the faster she's going. Anyways, I can't look at it til she gets home but I'm guessing maybe guibo or center bearing, or maybe the p.o.s. dual mass flywheel. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you should check your drive line/shaft - most likely worn out CV joints. Also, you might check the hand break mechanism.

As the guibo starts to come unraveled

Well, Bill was right--guibo. My wife came home for lunch and I checked it out. Guess I'll be putting in a call to BMA.
