Dang, what all do I have to do to fix it? Is it easest to just buy a driveshaft. I'm already getting a front manual one. But I dont really want to have to pay the bucks for the rear too. I'm sort on money as it is. Could a drivershaft shop fix it? If so anyone know how much?

I've been told before that the U-joints are replaceable becuase they're pressed in and you cant get another one back in becuase of the way the factory made them. True?

They are replaceable, GM has those goo filled ones (nylon) I beleive, but they are still replaceable, how are you doing a 5spd swap yourself when you don't understand what a Universal-Joint is?

I know what a universal-joint is. What I wanted to make sure of is if their replaceable or not. I was almost 100% sure that they where unreplaceable and drift freaq backed me up. But, that really wasn't my question was of this thread. Then question was the detent in the u-joint.

My next question is, I really want to get a one piece driveshaft but with the money I have right now doesn't think so. Could I use the front and back driveshaft I have now for a month til I get more money or is it back enough that I should replace it with a one piece right away?
