Hi Bill,
Before you solve your problem with an constant velocity universal
joint, it is important the slope down the output shaft and the slope up
of the pinion angle be the same:

Go to the hardware store and get an angle finder (they don't cost much)
to see how close you got on your slipyoke/pinion angles. Maybe you can
get them closer. Have you tried running with no shims? You did drop the
tcase skid 3/4", right? If your slipyoke/pinion angles are indeed bang
on, then your steep drive shaft angle is likely the cause of remaining
vibes and you'll know you've done all you can short of a fixed yoke and
double cardan shaft.

Exactly. Before I went the shim route, the angle at the pinion and
driveshaft was virtually non-existent. About 0 degrees. Would have been
perfect for the CV Shaft only I don't have an extra 400.00 for the shaft and
yolk to spend at this time. The 11.00 shim set is a worthy fix for now.
