My Story:

I purchased my car in early November of 2012 after selling my srt4. Everything seemed to be in great working order. Trans shifted nice..motor pulled hard.. everything seemed right, the car was well taken care of. Little did i know that i would end up breaking the 3-4 sleeve the following day and it would leave me sitting a few miles from my house. I then proceeded to pull my trans and send it to shep $2500, t case rebuild $475, new clutch and pressure plate $430 cause the act2100 was shredded. So now with $3400 in my car and it all put back together i took it for a spin. The car shook with just the slightest load on the motor most noticeably in 3,4,5th. So i took it back home and put it back up on jack stands. I decide that the drive shaft probably needs new universals and carrier bearings, so i began to remove the driveshaft. After stripping and breaking off 2 studs i finally have the driveshaft off as well as the t-case. I took if for another drive. I was wrong still shakes like a mofo. So Now i am extremely frustrated cause i just made extra work for myself. I guess I'm going to start by replacing the front passenger axle since it would have been removed with the tranny. Am i on the right track or headed in the wrong direction?

thanks

Made it a tad easier to read :). Now does the whole car shake, just the steering wheel or what? Have you checked all suspension related parts (upper and lower control arms, and ect.) since you have seemed to replaced everything else??
