Okay, thanks guys. I need to look closer at this. It will have to wait as I'm going out of town for a week. I will get on it when I get back. Thanks again. --Kim

I have verified that all the u-joints have the c-clips and the pinion u-joint is held on with u-bolts.

I had originally installed the driveshaft with new u-joints last Fall. It drove without vibration then. Then in February I had to remove the transmission to replace the throw out bearing and think (hope) I just reinstalled the driveshaft off-center. Vibration started after re-installation. Now that I've centered it, it drives fine.

Here are some pictures... Does anyone see any problems?

I took the plunge! Taking the dash apart. The plan is to clean everything; clean the cluster; replace all the bulbs; paint the silver part of the bezel; install woodgrain on the bezel; fix one crack on the dash pad; paint the dash pad and re-assemble before the 14th... because I have an appt to get passenger outer wheelhouse and partial quarter installed the last half of the month. So, I need to keep moving on this.

I need to unhook wires to courtesy light switches or uninstall switches and get the whole pad off the car and then to figure out how to remove bezel and cluster. Any suggestions or tips would be welcome!

Anyone know if I can replace bulbs with LED's?
