Driveshaft question
Is the vibration weight on the trans yoke needed? I knocked the damper weight off of mine because the weight spun 1/3" off of the rubber (twice) and some people have told me that the damper is needed on corvettes to balance the driveshaft vibrations. This doesn't make too much sense to me because the weight is on the yoke only. Is this true or will I be fine without the weight? I haven't seen this weight on other race cars running the same 700R4 trans, why would the vette be any different?
Is anyone else here running an automatic in their vette with a Dana 44 and stock manual driveshaft with the damper removed from the stock trans yoke?

Hey john,
I have my old driveshaft of my Dana 44 you can have if you want, I no longer need it. And I finally got all my parts in so I should be putting the car back together tomorrow and have it back on the road for this weekend hopefully.

I don't know if your little 305 can handle the spray.
Thanks for the driveshaft Nick, I'll probably put it on tomorrow and hope to get rid of the vibration from spinning my damper off.
