Re: VIBRATION ON TAKE OFF 700 1989I

I would guess your rear U-joint is seizing when it gets hot.You can either block the front wheels with the car in neutral, jack up the rear to spin the drive shaft, or simply unbold the U-joint from the rear end.

My car had this problem, causing the pinion seal to leak. Check the hanger bearing on the shaft while you're under there. If everything doesn't spin right, you'll have more wear from the tranny to the rear end. Some mechanics will recommend dropping the shaft and replacing all joints and hanger bearing at the same time. Depending on mileage, you'll be doing it at some point anyway.
