I have a 92 s13 w/ no lsd 158k miles. My transmission shakes like somethin is misaligned from 1st-2nd and the shaking dies out when speed increases. I searched and didn't find anything. Could it be the propeller shaft bearing or the shaft itself going bad? What are the symptoms of either one going bad? My differential shakes as well when taking off in 1st and goin to 2nd, like its having a hard time grabbing the gears. And today, theres a loud clicking noise back there which dies out if speed increases, but loud in 1st-2nd. Its definitely coming from the components after the transmission...i.e: propeller shaft to the differential. i can say..its NOT my alignment being off or wheel problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated...thanx

the other components to look for that arent mentioned yet would be the carrier bearing & maybe the cv drive axles
