The driveshaft and the radio?

[egnorant]

I bought a 91 convertible a while back and put a 5 speed in it. I noticed that the driveshaft I used did not have the dampener on the front yoke. I haven't noticed anything strange in smoothness or drivability...but! I just wonder about the dampeners function.
Next is a bit odd. When I got this car I noticed its cheap radio would turn the volume down when I shut off the car. I slide a stock radio into it specifically to get rid of this and the stocker does the same thing!! Anyone know about this and how to make it stop?
Thanks

how are or could they possibly be connected?

I think he was just asking about two things which he wondered about.

For the DS, autos have the damper on the DS, and sticks dont IIRC.

Radio - you got me. The volume control is internal. My sis had one like that once and a fresh deck fixed it. The power supply to the deck cant modulate the volume.

Good luck.
