Top hinge:


There is a very slight amount of play in the hinge. Maybe a millimeter.

Driveshaft/Bottom hinge:


You can see how the u-joints are wearing on the edge of the sphere. I suspect that to be the issue. It's not limited to the front or the rear shaft either. When I disconnect one or the other it will still stall. Need a temp fix. I'll probably put some different shafts in entirely. I've always had great success with the MIP stuff. Might have to customize something to fit.

I'd say get rid of that shaft and get a real u joint . thats the most micky mouse joint I've seen ( no offense ) pot metal will not last long under torsional stress . is there a slider on the shaft ?
