Rear tailhausing bushing on your trans is probably busted , or your transmission is probably mis-adjusted . Harmonic damper .

r u sure it's speed related and not rpm related?

If you're cruising 60mph, and you push the clutch in, if the vibrations stop, it's somewhere in the motor/trans....if the vibration continues, it's the driveline....first guess would be the tires, make sure they're all balanced right, you also can't adjust a trans for vibrations.

Thanx ill try those and not is doesnt stop when clutch is desingauged

ok, then since you balanced your shaft, it's somewhere else not in the motor/trans, it's likely tires as mentioned, but could be suspension/rear end too

If you want to go with Jeremy's tire idea, you can rotate the tires and see if the issue follows the tire (if your steering wheel starts shaking badly now, chances are it is a balance issue).

Good luck.

A transmission with too much end play will defenatly have vibrationn . I tested this fact many times and solve the problem with a good adjusting .

Can someone post up a good way to test for tailshaft end play/bad u-joints? Just jack it up and start reefing on the driveshaft to see if it moves? Is a little play ok? Should there be no play at all?
