    Odd driveshaft vibration comes and goes

    Odd driveshaft vibration comes and goes

    83 c2500 auto hard shift P to D

    Had the box off and looked again at the driveshaft. From park to reverse it rotated almost 1 revolution before engaging the wheels to move. In my opinion the rear end. From park to drive not so much and not a hard bang, but drive to reverse, BANG.
