Problem is as stated in the Title. 6-Speed. Out of gear I can Rev the engine up with no issues. It feels like driveline. I checked my angles.
Rear pinion is 22.3
Rear shaft is 23.7
Front pinion is 8.0
Front shaft is 12.0
I raised the front to droop the suspension fully and rotate the shaft to check for binding. No issue there.
There is some reasonable play in the splines of the front shaft (stock shaft rebuilt 5 months ago). Could that be the problem?
The flutter is barely perceptible under slow acceleration, but if I get on it, it roars.
Thanks to my brilliant Jeep peeps.

EDIT: everything is torqued to spec. Track bars control alarms jam nuts. I think I’m gonna try to remove the front driveshaft and see if I still get these crazy weird fluttering‘s. At least then I might know if it’s from the front or rear
EDIT 2: Removed my front driveshaft and went for a drive and everything was the same. So I assume nothing wrong with the front driveshaft. I remove the rear driveshaft and went for a drive, which was interesting in and of itself considering that I have a power track snow slip auto locker at Fred. But noticeably different. No fluttering’s. Why would my rear driveshaft suddenly not be functioning correctly and causing this kind of strange behavior under load?
