I cant think of any reason this would cause a problem, just wanted to get everyones idea.

Im trying to track down this loud clunking/vibration I have right below the E-Brake area when taking off from a start.

The speed sensor is in the rear extension housing right?

I don't think it'd do any damage by running without it. computer will probably just put the standard 90/10 split in there. You could put a fuse in the FWD holder just to be on the safe side though.

Since the normal minimum is 10% trasnfer to the rear I would think that plenty to spin, the speed sensor should be happy right?

Ill probably insert the FWD fuse though.

Bring a video camera and have some photographers on site too. post pics of the outcome.

Well it will work without the drive shaft, except that the transmission fluid will all drain out :?

I fixed it though, just got a used driveshaft and swapped them
