From 40 to 60 or so it vibrates when accelerating. Shift to nuetral or just let off gas and it quits. Can someone help please

On 2006 LE path I had both front drive and rear drive shaft u-joints replaced by dealer at 93000. Experienced same symptoms especially uphill and under load.

I checked the ujoints and cant feel any play in them. Do I need to check them with the car jacked up

If it is a 2006, you have the notorious radiator. Remember that you can never catch it in time. The damage is done once it leaks to the trans. Sad to say, some thought they might be "lucky", that it would not happen to them. At the age these are, a $4-5K repair might send it to the bone yard for an early retirement.

I have the same problem on a manual diesel (UK) model. My UJs look in good condition and I can't feel any play at all in them.

As they're between the transfer box and diffs, should it be any different if I jack the vehicle up as they're not loaded anyway. Do I need to feel play in them for them to be faulty?

I'm hoping mine might be the UJs based as they're easiest and cheapest to sort!
