Shutter while accelerating

[valewalker]

i have a slight shutter while accelerating in second gear. it only lasts for a second or two, and a friend said it was a universal link on my drive train. he didnt exactly give me the correct name for the link so im having some problems locating the part and the procedure to get it replaced. can anyone help with this? thanks guys.

well, after a little research it is a u-joint. apparently the S13 does not have replaceable u-joints. i would have to have another one welded on after i beat this one off with a hammer. guess its time to pull the drive train out of my parts car. should be easy... it only weighs 540 lbs!
