    New shake

    Just started. The car shakes at 40 and all the way up to 60 then starts to stop but its is still there a little. I checked the flex joint it looks fine. wheels are all on tight. i think i know what it is but I thought I would ask before I tear in to it.

    Update.
    It is coming from under the car more than from the wheels. and it goes away when i push in the clutch

    Could be an out of balance wheel, or even a bent wheel.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        If the vibration goes away when the clutch is disengaged, I'd suspect binding u-joints in the drive shaft, probably coupled with a failed CSB. If that's the cause the vibration should be worse when the drive train is subjected to high torque loads, like when briskly acellerating from a stop or up a hill.

          That is what I was afraid of. Any one have a good drive line local?
