One inch only into trans is by all means not enough. Not in enough to hold the driveshaft straight, it will wobble. Pintos commonly had an extended weight at the tailhousing to stifle even normal vibration there as well.

Dave, on here and who I got the car from, is swapping the driveshafts and taking the aluminium shaft with him. That will fix the problem :)

OK, got a driveshaft from otnip - works GREAT AND ZERO vibration!!!!

Thank you otnip!!!

Aluminum shaft was good for regular car (hatch or non) but not for the wagon!
