Default Harmonic woes...
Have a friend with a 95 GT and he says his harmonic balancer is whack. How much play/movement should there be if any?

Is this something that a mechanically inclinded individual could undertake at home? A replacement that is.

yes it is, if you do not have a harmonic balancer remover and installer, just rent it from auto zone. Simple job

I went w/ the Professional Products damper from 50resto. It's a LOT nicer than the POS stock one and about the same price...$79 w/ the spacer I needed.
