No change in shaking
92 3.9 2wd LE
What I thought was the rear end going turns into being false.Good news but,violent shake still present.This is costing me more time than money but TOO MUCH time.I just have no idea where to look next.I guess my question would be now,Would a bad transmission make my truck shake like it is?I cant even get a block away before it starts in.Yesterday after checking rear end I took it for a short drive and felt the shake start almost immediately as I took off and got worse as I kept going.I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue with their Dakota?Here is a list of things I've looked at..Suspension,ball joints,u-joints,tires,rear end.Having the drive shaft and transmission checked today.I have never had a transmission make a vehicle act like this before but Im no transmission guy so..... Although I have changed both u-joints and drive shaft seemed fine.This truck is in too nice a shape to give up on but if I don't find the issue soon I'll be forced to sell it for parts...ANY information you guys have to help save this little beast is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the fast response guys.first I did check all the bearings and they are fine and tires look good also.I dont hear any noises and vibration is from any speed,gets worse the faster you go.Seems to get the worse soon as it shifts into second gear.This is why I asked if it could be tranny related..Soon as it shifts into second THATS when ya cant even drive anymore.Truck violently ans I do mean VIOLENTLY shakes.Theres nothing sitting in neutral.

Put the rear end up on blocks, get a buddy to accelerate until it hits second and watch underneath. Sounds like a bent drive shaft. If it's bent, you'll see it when its on blocks.
If it was internal to the transmission, the way you're describing it, you would be short a few litres of tranny fluid and a good chunk of cast iron if you drove it.
