****!!!! while i was out today taking pics of the FB ...i was in a HUGE empty parking lot so i did a few donuts and peeled out like crazy.....well after that (maybe 20 mins after)...i was on the highway and i started to feel i vibration on low speed......i wasn't even in gear.......i was doing about 60 and put it in nuetral and i coasted it to a stop and i heard a big HUM all around the car......i think it is my drivshaft (because this has happened to me before but i replaced the drive shaft with a used one not a new one......so i think that just bit me in the ***!!)...yeah i thik this is my problem ..AGAIN!!! DAMMIT@@!!! ahh crap i have no one to blame but myself......but with that info what do you guys think??? i think i am right but ....i hope its not the trasmission...becasue it does shift fine!!!

well if its your drive sahft again, something ahs to be making it go bad...

OnlyOnThurs

any ideas..what could it be???


the one i replaced it with was another OLD one.....maybe it was on its way out???

yeah, if that does turn out to be the problem then i would check the pinion angle and make sure the bushings are not worn out on your suspension. this driveshaft lasted what 6 months? you did grease the u-joints when you installed it right?

skrewloose78

did you check the u-joints when you installed it? if thats it then just replace them

Is your 83 GS still a one-legger or did you upgrade to an LSD? Burnouts -- aka "one tire fires" -- are very, very bad for an open diff. If the driveshaft is not the problem, then the diff becomes a suspect.

OnlyOnThurs

its a one legger!!!

Did you happen to be burning just 1 tire a lot during your "fun"? If so, its possible you wrecked your diff. I don't see how this could cause a vibration, but if the berings went bad, then it would created a humming sound.

LOL, who let you out of your room unattended? Anyway, I'm guessing ujoint unless you slipped a belt on a tire.

Hey, at least he blames himself. Not too smart, but he sounds like a nice, ethical guy. I've got a spare driveshaft I'll let go for next to nothing, first bid over $300. And a good tranny for $600.

first bid over $300!?!?!?!?!?! What the??? im sorry if i am reading this wrong but are you selling me a drive shaft for 300 bucks???? um thats a little high isn't it????......and also...what year rx7 did the drive shaft come off of? If its an 82 and under then i can use it...if its 83-85 then i CAN NOT USE IT!!!!

No kidding. I bought a GSL with a perfect body, perfect transmission, awesome interior (except the color), basically perfect everything but the engine, for $600

He must have meant, first bid over $3.

You can have your driveshaft completely rebuilt and balanced for less than $150.
