Output shaft bent on a 904

Actually a worn output shaft bearing can cause the shaft to wobble as there is nothing else that really holds the shaft stable. The output shaft passes through the governor support about mid way which holds it in place somewhat but I'd suspect the ouput shaft bearing way before the ouput shaft. After all, hows a hardened shaft going to just bend?? In my 30+ yrs. of rebuilding transmissions (mostly Mopars but some GM's too) I have never saw a bent output shaft from a trans. unless the car was wrecked real hard. Not saying it can't happen but I don't see how it can unless something hits it real hard. Another thing, why did the vibration go away for a few days when you replaced the driveshaft? A bent shaft doesn't stop being bent for 4 days then go back to being bent again. I'd look the new driveshaft over as well to make sure it didn't toss a balance weight.

If you do need a new output shaft didn't you see the link Tony provided from Wittrans that shows output shafts dirt cheap? It's in post # 3. Here it is again
