    Major Issue

    Driving home tonight the car starts to vibrate and then I here a loud thud and what seems like to be the Drive shaft hitting the floor and banging like a Mother Fawker but the drive shaft is not hanging or anything and is still connecteed. Upon trying to pull the car home in Neutral the same symptons occur and even feels like the rear wheel is rolling something over every now and then..so i decided to leave the car where it was at till morning.. Please Help Mangs I have no idea WTF is wrong with it.... Thanks Mangs

    I'm not really one to ask by any means, but my uneducated guess would be differential problems. Just a wild guess, though.

      Thats what Im thinking, Maybe a tooth off the Pinion gear.. But I just chaged the fluid in the rear end and it was emaculate

        well if you had same issue in nuterual, than im willing to bet that the rear done grenaded itself.

          driveshaft still turns in neutral......remove the driveshaft and see if it rolls, if it does not, the rear is bad

              Welp, found out what the problem is... The drive shaft fell out in front (trans) Only if that bitch would have waited two days for the U-joints, I had them sitting on the front seat.

                    bad universal joints are nothing to play around with......you are lucky that the car did not pole vault itself down the street

                        I am lucky, The H pipe acted like a drive shaft loop.. the shaft got kinda beat up considering its aluminum (didnt know that) and the slip yoke being a cast piece but My buddy spent lots of time fixing her back up and shes all beter now.. and hell yea thats nutin to play with, I have been in a car where the Drive shaft fell and pole vaulted its ass right in the air talk about noise Haha
