bad ok to drive till get parts?????no it was'nt blew the rear.after replacing rear w/used w/100k there is a vibration that gets worse w/speed from rear of car(can be felt in seat back)& there is no drive unless you manually up shift then trans shifts properly up/down until you stop.
i'm thinking maybe a balance issue w/drive shaft for the vibration but
dont no about the no drive problem.Thanks Again Mike
BTW after the rear locked up he put it in 4 wh & i guess dragged the rear???a couple of miles!!!!!
I just had my tranny replaced and had a similar vibration. I took it back to the mechanic and we saw that the rear u-joint has 2 clips on them to properly center the drive shaft into the rear pinion. My clip was rusted away and when put back in, the driveshaft was about 1/8" inch off center. We added a new clip to the u-joint and all is good again.

Check that first. Hopefully that is it. Post what you found. Later
