Got the drive shaft off, ready to take to the shop tomorrow. Definite issues with the u-joints...the rear one has 1/16" play in it, and the foward one has stiff movement. Also need to replace the transmission mount, so I ordered one from RockAuto. NAPA wanted $54 for it, RockAuto has it for $13 (minus my discount, which was 68 cents) . Even with paying (under $7) shipping I'm doing well, ($30 well) and it should be here Saturday.

A simple operation to replace.
