Well guys, I posted a little while ago about about some vibrations I narrowed down to the rear driveshaft.

I took it to a tranny shop today and they had it up on the lift, ran it, and their conclusion was there was too much slop in the diff to the driveshaft. They said that was the reason my rear ujoint was worn down, and the reason I'm having vibrations and a clunking/hiccup/hard gear changes.

They quoted me about $850-$900 to replace the carrier bearing and races? Axles and gears have always been a mystery to me- as I haven't had many problems with them. They said there should be about 1/100th of play in the driveshaft, and now there is a lot more.

Does that seem plausible?
