It was not the drive shafts, not the motor mounts, it was oil in the clutch. It occurred to me that if I wet the clutch with brake cleaner and I noticed a change in the problem that the issue was there. Hence, removed the center floor, pulled the shifter base plate, and the inspection plate over the clutch - enough access to spray a 1/2 can over the plates when running, and in between numerous spots when stopped. Excess runs out the bottom. To my delight I was not sent through the roof in an explosion. Then reassembled and drove up and down a hill.... like new! At least now I know the source of the problem. Maybe it is fixed? Time will tell. Now I just hope the micro brake cleaner tube that fell in the inspection port does not fester in the works. OOOOps.
Thanks for all the insight of this forum. We could never have figured this out - or afforded this rebuild without all of your help. Wonderful you all are!!
Hip hip... hooray!
