I'm going to go back down there tonight after work and play with it and see if I'm just not aligning it properly, but it really feels like it is stopping.
Where do you live in Central Maryland? I live in Chesapeake Beach, but used to live in the Rockville/Gaithersburg area. I belong to Corvette Club of America and a lot of my Corvette buddies live up that way too. We hold our Autocross events at Lincoln Tech in Columbia. Also, Sport Chevrolet in Silver Spring is our sponsor.
Hmm... This makes me wonder if the tailshaft bushing might have a burr on it, or have some sort of fabrication flaw that alters its inner diameter or concentricity. Odds are it was replaced during the rebuild. To the extent that it's possible to do so, I'd suggest trying to peek at it through the gap between the shaft and seal, using a bright penlight.
Is there any chance there's a layer of grease on the external splines of the tailshaft, and/or the internal splines of the yoke, that could be causing an airlock to form in the cavity of the yoke? Or a buildup of grease or some other foreign material in the yoke cavity?
I'm in the Greenbelt area, and a member of FSCC. I worked in G-burg for around 12 years, then in Columbia for around 8 years. We oughta get together for a chilly-pop and some bench racin' one of these warm summer evenings.
