Vibration while coasting in neutral ????
Hi guys Heres the symptom... While driving down the road at 50 mph or faster if I press in the clutch to coast or shift to neutRAL to coast down a hill I get a significant vibration in the driveline... but the second I put back into gear and /or let the clutch back out vibtation goes away. I am hoping this is something simple, have any of you had this problem??? the only thing I noticed by looking underneith is a small drip where the driveshaft comes out of the transfer case.

U-Joints maybe? Assuming while driving in gear the joints are under load and being torqued on so all is well. When you push in the clutch and its in neutral, the torque lets off on the driveshaft and you get a vibration.
Not saying this is the problem... Just a theory.
As for being parked and in neutral... could be the catalytic converter maybe. Mine rattles too.
