I did my own gear install and you should be able to wiggle the driveshaft A BIT, maybe not an 8th of a turn though. If your gears were going, you'd know it from the absurd howling coming from the rear. To confirm, get up to highway speed and take your foot off the gas. A really bad gearset will howl and vibrate. If it's just vibration, I noticed you didnt list an aluminum driveshaft as 1 of your mods. I'm running 3.73's with the stock shaft and I think the car's gonna fly apart above 85, so try replacing that. I've had a balancer go before and you know it when it happens. The car SHAKES VIOLENTLY! You can see the think literally wobbling off the front of the engine, but it's easy to tell cause it will shake at idle.
