Driveline?
Do you mean driveshaft or in British terms, propshaft?

Some slack is ok. Some more is not.
You need to be more specific.

sitting in neutral I can turn short driveshaft about 1 inch back and forth. I cannot turn the long driveshaft at all..Originally Posted by disco2hse

Doesn't sound a lot to me.
Do you get a vibration through the floor?
When you are in 4WD Low, is there a noticeable clunk when you go from stop to move?
Is there a noticeable backlash when you accelerate/decelerate?
Do you have manual locking hubs on the front?
Is there play in the UJs?
When you last changed front diff oil, were there metal fragments in the oil?
Does the front diff whine when you are driving?
Is the reason you cannot revolve the rear prop shaft because you have the hand brake on?
Is the play in the front prop shaft still noticeable when you are in gear?

it does jerk back and forth when I take off slow in first or second gear...

OK. Sounds likes nothing is wrong, so far.
It will jerk a bit if you start off in low, first gear. I normally start off in 2nd or 3rd when in low range.
