My buddies car got a 3.73 swap about a year ago and has recently developed a vibration. We're guessing it has something to do with the gear, but what would cause a vibration to start a whole year after they were put in?
Like others indicated, and you suggested in the opening post, if the gears were the issue, they should have reared their head a long time back.85_SS_302_Coupe said:Any chance this could be related to the gears? I don't see how the back lash could cause the car to shake like it does.

The other possibility (if it wasnt mentioned) is the clutch went south and is imbalanced. Is the vibration any different with the car in gear vs coasting in neutral vs coasting with the clutch disengaged?
It does not have any vibes at any RPM while stationary, right (ruling out the balancer)? I am sure you were all over that, but it was worth mentioning.
Good luck.
What I meant was to just basically see see if everything was nice and tight so as to nothing loosened up.85_SS_302_Coupe said:I don't see how the back lash could cause the car to shake like it does.
It is the lesser weight and arguably better intrinsic balance that helps.slow5poh said:And alot of people say the aluminum driveshaft solves the problem. Maybe like dampens it more than steel.
