Also, if someone put in a solid trans mount with stock motor mounts it will break things. Dawson said it, a broken driver side motor mount will break the bellhousing.

I guess something else worth mentioning is whether or not the guide/alignment pins are in place?

If those pins are not there the trans will not be aligned properly and can put it in a bind.

I honestly dont know. This is my first time working on any manual vehicle, plus Im only 17 and I have a year of vocational Auto education.


In other words, I know practically nothing.

Ok so I went and pulled another BH. Got almost ready to put it on, and noticed a hairline crack. Getting it welded to fix it. Might still need that BH, tho, Dawson. Need to wait and see. Pulled an Aluminum DS out of a same year model GT too, Ill put that on and see where it gets me with the massive vibration. May go ahead and do U Joints, while its out. And Im doing throwout and possibly Pilot bearing as well. This sound like everything?

Also, idk if it would cause the vibration or not, but I have a bent rim on the back. Clipped a curb in reverse. It hadnt seemed worth mentioning, but is it possible that I bent a drive axle when I hit it?

Also possible that you bent a control arm , and it put the entire drive line in a bind.

I love that movie, and it bugs me that it was used against me....

Truthfully, it didnt seem worth it to mention, I forgot it completely. I didnt think that would cause a vibration hard enough to crack a bell.

Haha , im just bustin ya ballz

Lol me and my son have seen the first 3 of those films so many times I think we could follow the scripts word for word.

Check your control arms , depending on how hard you hit the curb.
It could have tweaked the rear end enough to put it in a bind or throw your pinion angle way out of whack .
