Sorry to misspell your name above.  I have a recurring vibration under power
only.  AND a clinky clanky sound from the coupled set (rdiff-dshaft-fdiff) 
that I can reproduce by rotating the dshaft by hand.  I imagine $$$plines
being worn in front or back since I can't feel any play in the ujoints or
the rubber (hardy) disk.

Has me fully bamboozled.
