Not meaning to interrupt, but long ago a friend was towing his car with a Turbo-400 from Mississippi to CA. and I removed the driveshaft thinking that the trans. would be turning inside, but no pump would be lubing it on that long journey.

I then realized after he left that I hadn't marked the driveshaft for realignment, and mentioned it to someone.

Guy said it didn't matter, as the driveshaft itself is balanced so it will remain that way no matter how it's re-orientated.

Well, the friend didn't complain of vibration after he re-installed it in CA. so...?
