RESURECTED FROM THE DEAD........i have the same problem in my 84 -se, however if i put the clutch in when it's vibrating it still vibrates in neutral or in gear, but, if i let off the throttle the vibration will go away until i even slightly tap the throttle i just reached under my car without jacking it up to grab the shaft and it does have a lil bit of play but it's not alot, i didnt hear anything slapping around tho, just wanted to confirm if this still might be the u-joints so i can just bite the bullet and do my turbo II tranny sway while im at it since there's no sence in buying a $300 driveshaft for a stock tranny when im going to end up doing a turbo swap anyway.....also the faster i go the more of a buzz it becomes and less of a vibration, when im around 50 or 60plus mph it's a buzz

OK, talking about the dead, it was almost 5 years ago since I posted in this same thread. Get a new driveshaft and be done with it. If it breaks, Its going to make a mess and a walk home.
