scaggsj · 12-16-2009, 06:07 PM

Thanks for all your input. Ill pull the Drive shaft. I just wasnt sure yes its an auto too, but im working on that.lol. Well I guess Im heading to Jacksonville Friday my 87 really has not been liking the cold weather here in missouri so we are looking forward to that Florida weather. Thanks again, and if any one has anything else to share feel free.

Thanks Made it to Florida, the Supra is likeing Florida alot better. Deffinitly the way to tow it is without the driveshaft although doing it I found I need a new center support bearing bad. I also have some vibration now that gets worse as I go faster probley the bearing.

check and see if you put it in the same way it was before. even if you move it one slot over will throw off the balance. i found this out on my s10 when i did u-joints.

Ditto. If your off just be one, you feel the vibration. That's why it's usually good to mark it with liquid paper or something like that so it goes in the same way, on the same mark.

Thanks Ill check both of those the center bearing has at least 1/2" of play you can almost touch the top and bottom not quite a little exageration. It clanks real bad when you go from p or n to drive or rev. So it needs changing anyways and Ill recheck my marks I made didnt have white out so I used wifes fingernail polish and it was harder to see than I thought so thats a possibility although Im pretty sure I got it never hurts to double check. Thanks to you to Cre, Ill def check that out cause It kinda slid a little out and I slid it back in I dont think it moved but I thought it was just one way.
