976 840 Play in Transmission and Rear

[Deblo]

I sent my driveshaft out to be rebuilt and balanced. The Guibo had only minor stress cracks and the center bearing seemed fine. I was getting a vibration under acceleration. I guess the bearing or guibo or rear yolk could have had enough unnoticeable wear to cause the vibration. I did notice I have just a little play in the trans and rear when I turn each. It takes just a little bit for the gears to engage. Is that normal on both ends? I would think it is, but defer to the experts. I am hoping I have no vibration when I get the driveshaft and exhaust re-installed-no small job. Thanks much.

Well regarding reinstalling, I would say it's a easy job once the car is in the air. Not more than a hour unless you broke the exhaust all the way down from the manifolds.
