Hello,

When I did this in my syncro nothing was ever the same.  I tried to send my driveshaft out and that didnt work either.  No one was able to shim up those joints right.  One time it was almost right but that only lasted about 2k and it started vibrating again.  I hope you can figure it out your problem but I would say the joints are not correct.  Out of question where did you have the joints done??
