Don't forget to change the motor oil. It holds 1.5 quarts. It is very important not to overfill the oil pan.


WHOA! Holy cow man! He was asking about the driveshaft not engine problems!! No reason to do all that if it's running fine. Let's focus on the problems at hand and not go on a goose chase man.

However you were right on about the hub and shaft being worn. This is more than likely the culprit. Check the hub and the shaft first, let's not get carried away with the motor just yet. If you find the hub is worn, let us know. JeffinPA on here makes new driveshafts.
