This past weekend I discovered a new "slipping and shuddering" sensation. Originally I was thinking fuel and had a post for it here

Amigo 2k suggested I lube the slip yoke, and I'm glad he did (Thanks Amigo 2k!). So I went out and started pumping grease into the zerk on the SY and I'm pumping in a bunch but no oozing, so I poke around and find what appears to be a loose and cracked bushing. It also appears that there is a grease spray pattern in the drive shaft tunnel right where this bushing is. Here is the pic..

In this pic I have pulled the bushing back to reveal the grease packed in there.

So now what? Do I just get the bushing replaced, or is there more to it than just that?

Thanks for all you help!
