I've noticed a vibration from 2500rpm to 3200rpm only while in 4th gear. It is a cyclical vibration and there if I am on the accelerator or not. That same rpm range in any other gear does not cause the vibration.

When I run the 17" wheels, the vibration is not present or is at least suppressed. With the 15" wheels on the vibration is there. I had the 15" wheels rebalanced but it made no difference. Vibration definitely seems to come from the trans/driveshaft.

Last time I checked the driveshaft (May '11) there was no play that I could detect. However, I was looking around under there about a month ago and saw a small crack in the guibo. Maybe it's time to do the guibo and CSB?
