yes the guibo is fine to my surprise. i always joked about the germans using a rubber disc instead of a universal in the front of the driveshaft...but it lasted longer than the u-joint! i will replace that with the shaft. i located a shaft from a ti with 23000 miles from a junkyard in north carolina for only 100 bucks. so that should be fine from the sounds of it. we'll see what happens.
