Alrighty so last weekend i finished my AWD swap on my 97 GST. Been driving it all week. Shifts great, drives good, put all new fluids in the tranny, t-case, and rear end, just have a few concerns. First thing is what the title says, i need a u joint. The front u joint on the driveshaft has a little play in it, and i can hear it click when i let off the gas and get back on the gas, i checked it on the lift at work to confirm. The problem is i cant seem to find a u-joint for it anywhere. The other concern is a little weird, and only occurs when accelerating slowly from a complete stop. Ill let out the clutch normally, and under slow acceleration around 5-10 miles per hour i feel a quick very very feint shimmy and feel a slight couple clunks in the passanger rear wheel area. Almost feels like an axle ever so slightly binding or something along those lines. But it's weird how it only does it at such a low speed and under light throttle. Absolutely no issues after that whether its 15mph or 100mph. Also if i stay idling around 2-5 mph it wont act up, only when I'm actually accelerating. Any ideas??? =D
