Hi PM,
        Bit late to discover at this stage. Has it thrown a weight? look for tell tale clean spot. Are the universal joints in good shape sometimes they can cause an out of balace feel too.
See you in Le Mans

I greased the UJ's on the Commer propshaft the other day and for the first mile or so there was a sort of juddering "out-of-balance" feel to the powertrain. It soon went away, but it's worth remembering this when you install the newly balanced shaft, grease it up, drive off and then start cursing at the poor job the balancing people have done.....
