Next step in my multi-year quest to remove driveline vibration is to try another driveshaft.
(Because what's left when you've already tried new UJ's, new donuts, replacement transmission-output bushing, new driveshaft nose-bushing, new center support bearing, new center bushing, greased splines and nose bushing, balanced shaft once, then re-tubed(!) and re-balanced driveshaft again and it's STILL there... replacement rear axle, rear transmission mount, new engine mounts and rebuilt transmission and lightened gears...and it's phased correctly, and I always re-assemble it the same way it came apart).
In fact I should have tried this swap ages ago. But, the only other driveshaft I have available to try is from a 74 GTV with the beefed-up center bushing/bearing. There used to be a beautiful exploded diagram on the web somewhere of how the early and late driveshafts differed and how you could swap parts from one onto the other. Does anybody know where that picture might be, or could otherwise explain how to do that job?
Thanks for any advice,
