Decided to remove trans and diff due to noises I don’t like. I purchased from junkyard and car had 100,000 miles on it and was said to be fine prior to accident. I got talked out of sending it out for rebuild and now doing what I thought I should have done to begin with. Shipping out to RPM for rebuild and to change diff from 3:43 to 3:73 ratio for the size of tires. Engine RPM should be around 1,850 at 70mph.
I felt vibration in the torque tube and put a feeler gauge on the the shaft, not sure if this is the correct way to measure, but it showed about fifty thousandths out.
Not going to put everything back in until sorted out......really sucks yanking everything apart when I was so close
