John, I examined the u joint when everything was apart. There was no slop or binding, doesn't totally rule out the u joint but I don't think that's it.

Brent, I personally did not indicate the flywheel housing but the engine rebuilder told me that he did and it was straight.

Joe, pilot bearing is new and has about 700 miles on it. The side thrust would make sense, it is more evident in 3rd.

I should have also said that the noise goes away at higher speeds in the respective gears. Only happens in a 2-3mph window, 20-22ish and 35-38ish.
