I had a really bad vibration at all speeds caused by an out-of-balance shaft and a worn front u-joint. My tailshaft seal was leaking, too. I figured out the cost comparison of having the shop replace the u-joints and work on the shaft and change the rear seal of the T-5. It was only a hair more money to buy the aluminum shaft...it comes with two u-joints and a new yoke. I had the guys at UPR install it. Now, any new shaft would have smoothed out the ride compared to how it was, but man, it is REALLY smooth. I haven't noticed a performance gain but then again, I wasn't expecting to. Definitely worth the cash if you're ever in the same predicament.
