Default Yet Another Vibration Problem

I've tried searching and couldn't find an answer...

Today I stopped to help someone on the side of the interstate change a tire. The interstate was extremely busy and I had to get a little crazy pulling out onto the freeway. Well I'm still getting used to a new clutch and got a little too crazy and equalled my tires. Then I immediately noticed an extremely bad vibration coming from mid to rear of vehicle on acceleration. Pulled over and took a look underneath and everything seems right. Checked ds u joints and can't move the ds up or down or left or right. However there is a little play rotating it back and forth.


Thanks


Manny

Took rear drive shaft off and replaced u joints, and had ds spun. Every things balanced. While rear ds was out I put it in 4 wheel drive and drove around to check trans and tc, no vibes. I checked rear pinion bearing by seeing if there was any play in yoke, no play. I'm at a loss here. If it was something in my rear end wouldn't it have caused vibes driving around without rear ds? Everything is still spinning back there right?
