RE: [alfa] 1977 GTV 2000 transaxle vibration mystery

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Don't know if I'm a little too late on this one..

I researched into this,  since I was wondering about mine as well..  
though it probably is OK and some of what I hear is likely the 
beginnings of transmission bearings.  What I found out was,  calling 
your local RV or Trucking center is a good way to either find them as a 
source of driveshaft balancing,  or the local specialist they use.  The 
guy here would balance a small (car size) two piece driveshaft for 
$50-60 or so.

If/when I go thru the U-joints,  I might have it done just to be sure..  
Wish I knew about how to evaluate when you have too much spline slop 
though..
