okay
car is not lowered
its been doing this before all of the above
i did all this trying to fix the problem
the gears were done right by a buddy of mine owns a shop and has been doing it for 30 years
i have noticed that my balancer has slipped as i can no longer read my timing correctly, but if that was out of balance, wouldnt it trash my rotating assembly?
and it doesnt do it at low speeds... at all
only above like 60 and it gets worse when i let off the gass or put it in neutral to coast
