grinding while slowing down in neutral. R154

[JP85MX73]

I just finished my jzx73 swap and took the car for its first drive,. Everything was fine up untill i let off the gas and heard a horrible grinding noise and banging that actually brought the car to a stop. It does it worse in neutral than when its in gear... what could this be? Bad pilot bearing?

Also, this dosn't happen in reverse. I recently installed a 1 piece driveshaft. Through my research i think it could be the tranny, axels or the clutch

Which driveshaft did you use?

 

[JP85MX73]

I am using the driftmotion 1 pc aluminum. I have a feeling i might have unballanced one of the ends because i idiotically hit one of the joints with a hammer thinkin it was meant to come off. Maybe that could be it? Also to put the shaft in i had to drop the diff subframe maybe somehing is loose? But i do hear grinding by the shifter and behind it.. :cry:

How far into the Trans is the Slip yoke?

 

[JP85MX73]

Its in a decent amount but could definatley go in at least another. .5" or 1" if the shaft was longer. Possibly too short? Not in far enough so its slipping?

Can you snap a pic under there?
