Missing Cap, Inner Universal Joint Housing
 

Here's a good one for everybody: My car is missing the Inner Universal Joint Housing!! I am wrapping up my clutch install and I was pondering the TWO universal housing gaskets... I've been driving around without this part since before i did my clutch job. It is a bit disconcerting...however it looks like the inner housing's main function is to keep the grease inside the joint and not let too much of it go down the driveshaft. Should I be safe to continue to drive it like this or should I wait until I can source the part?

Oh...anybody have one for sale? Part # A-4513-A it is the equally spaced-type spacer....

That part also keeps the rear axle from moving forward.
