carrier bearing
Should there be any movement of the rubber mounting around the carrier bearing? Looks think mine has crushed down through the years and I can move the bearing assembly up and down about a quarter inch. Is the rubber mounting a seperate item or do I have to replace the entire assembly? Starting to chase my vibration problems from 45 to 50. Already searched back through the board, looks like this could take awhile to track down sometimes.

I went thru this a while back. My thought is that there should play in the rubber bushing and the bearing. At least a quarter inch to my knowledge. Does not seem right, but a new one shows the same movement. Check for movement at the rear of the tranmission between the shaft and the housing. Sometimes the seal will hang in their to prevent oil leakage even though there is to much clearance in the tail shaft bushing. This can cause vibration. Of course your U joints cannot be overlooked. Sometimes they can fool you as to their wear when you check them while in the vehicle. Just some ideas.

carrier bearing
Thanks for the reply, While pulling the shaft out to replace the carrier bearing I noticed there was quite a bit of movement (side to side and up and down) in the tail shaft for the C-6. Should there be any movement of this sort with the out put shaft? Is this something I can pull of myself? Is there a bearing that could be bad supporting the shaft?
Thanks Bob L

I do not agree that there should be play with a new carrier bearing installed at least not the 1/4" stated above. I could not move bearing in rubber by hand prior to installing on shaft. This is really irrelevent to the problem. I did change bearing and did not cure problem. Any one have a solution and why does this only happen in the small speed range?
