I know about the tail shaft balancing thing but as far as I know tail shaft vibration happens when the car not stationary anyone have any idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor_Z Member 43 Member For: 4y 11m 11d Posted 22/04/20 06:28 AM Author Share Posted 22/04/20 06:28 AM Do you reckon it’s the torque converter and flex plate ? I replaced the tranny and I think I messed up a lil with the flex plate and can feel some clunk noise in torque converter too probably flex plate is a lil bent? It’s like a truck noise shifting down gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
