Default Driveshaft issues

Ok guys I used the search engine and did not find my problem. I have the green grease coming from the driveshaft close to the center carrier rear shaft. I found the link to the other end issue. It looks like it is cracked all the way around and coming from that crack. Anybody else have this issue? Is it doomed?

Dang Heavymetals. You could ship it to me. Not a problem at this moment but we are going to Florida in June and I do not want to be worrying abut it the whole trip. I have had the car for 2 weeks so I am still figuring this crap out. I found one on Ebay for 299 with 20 shipping and it has 37k on it.

I just pulled this one out of my 05 with 27k mi on it.

I won't need it (CF replacement) so I can make you a great deal on it.

Shipping isn't cheap though.

I have been looking at junk yard ones and they are a lot cheaper than the one I seen. Let me know what you need for it and shipping. I dont plan on modding my V so I dont need to go to much better on DS.

A couple of hundred bucks would suit me, but like I said, the shipping won't be cheap.

It cost me almost $100 to ship the doggone clutch.

Like I said, the shipping is gonna be expensive and probably around $90.

I would be willing to go $200.00 and you pay shipping, whatever that is.

Okay, So can you get a quote on shipping for me? Do you have paypal? I guess if you don't want to get a quote I can paypal you the 200 then once you get it shipped I can paypal the shipping charges. Up to you. I will not screw you. Thanks. Neil

OT, my son just got his separation from the Air Farce.

How about this:

You paypal me $300 and I will ship.

If the shipping is over $100 I will let ya know.

If less, I will refund.

Glad you are happy.

I had to steal boxes off other stuff to ship my replacement driveshaft back to the vendor!
