Well, I had a clutch job done recently and when they balanced the flywheel, they took so much meat out of it the machinist couldn't believe it - it's the first one I've requested to be balanced-usually I just have em milled - but the vibration left after I pulled the clutch assy and ran it so I suspected the clutch or flywheel.... I'd had vibrations pretty bad for a while - and now - all gone!.... also, if it's not the u-joints, you might have a bent axle or bad axle bearing.... It'd have to be pretty bad to be unbearable, but those things are easiest to find.
