My guibo is starting to show very minor cracking. My tii sits in my garage until I have time to replace the guibo. Is it safe to drive, at least until parts start separating?

actually ive never had 1 fail to the point of coming apart. i either get a clinking or vibration of some sort. i think if you drive sensibly youll be fine for awhile

the engine at highway speeds. I know better now, as a bad guibo will hasten U joint failure due to vibration.

Mine was in 3 or more pieces. Totally cracked, and it was fine. There was a slight vibration around 30 mph in 3rd gear.
