    Took the car down and had the shaft balanced. Seemed to take away about half the vibration.

    check or just change the trans mount. they are known to colapse and change the oprerating angle of the u-joints.

    no thats the crossmember. the mount goes on top of it. you should be able to get one at any auto parts store.

    I will look at that trans mount because after further driving it turns out balancing changed nothing. I guess I just wanted to think it did. Vibration does seem to be coming from the trans general area.
