Has it been the same trans the whole time? And it's getting freshened up now? Had an issue with that? Might have been the output shaft causing it, since you had a prob there? Guess you'll know on that soon, so you will see.

Can look into the diag tools, there are certain harmonics that can indicate where the virbation is coming from, and also laser ones that can be used to measure. Believe there's one that has a transmitter you place on the balancer and pinion yoke, includes the entire driveline.

I know it can be frustrating, but stick with it, you'll ID it and get it corrected. If you end up tossing your arms in the air, try contacting a chassis builder/shop and have it looked at. A lot of the roundy-round guys deal with this stuff every day, and it's cake to them. Maybe even Schwartz, he could prob do it in his sleep. The rock crawler guys too, the are angle magicians.

Thanks for the links. I really dig the True laser Track driveline alignment tool. I think that is exactly what I need to get. It will help to align the rear end both laterally and pinion angle wise.

Yes, the same transmission was installed in the car the whole time, so it could have been the cause. I did check the output shaft runout and it was barely detected on the dial indicator, so I doubt that the trans was the problem.

I am definitely going to keep working at it. There is a solution to this problem.
