960 Driveshaft shudder 900 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be rwreagan on  Sun Mar 24 12:04 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I made sure that the bolts at the rear end went back in the same holes, along with the spacers (or whatever you call the thing that mounts like a washer but holds two adjacent bolts). I didn't think to match the four cap screws and nuts that hold the front to the transmission flange.

In any case, the shudder feels like it's in the rear, not the front of the shaft. No weights fell off. If it were a balancing problem, wouldn't I have symptoms at other times besides a standing start?

I did check the joints while it was out. Absolutely no play in them.

If the total length of the drive shaft were incorrect because the two pieces didn't overlap enough or overlapped too much before the set screw locked them in place, could that cause this problem? If so, how to determine the correct length before tightening the set screw?

???????
