It's tight in the rear of the trans, and I can't think of anything else that could cause the rear seal to leak. When I get my bike here I'll pull it and have it balanced. I still want to find the vibration damper info though! Looks like that will make a good AIM article since no one seems to have any info on it.

I did have a driveshaft problem like this on my Gremlin. Leaking
tail seal too. The issue in this case however was the driveshaft
was too short by about an inch, and didn't insert far enough so it
wobbled. How the driveshaft was that way I never found out, I just
had one made and the vibration and leaks went away.
