Default 740 driveshaft problem

Hey guys,

I notice that at a stand still when I accel at normal rate it seems like the drive shaft is hiting the bottom of the car for 3 seconds then stops as I go faster.Is there a center shart support bearing( like BMW's) or is there anther issue?

Thanks
Franco

There is a center support bearing and carrier most likely it is bad.

Hello,
Yes you got it...! support bearing/cage. I would also check the Trans. mount as well as the exhaust sys. possibly hitting due to misallignment or trans. mount or etc...........
good deduction though...go for it!
take care,
Phil Franco
