engine start to shake after t5 swap, wrong flywheel ?
Hello everyone !
I`m form Poland and have big problem. I have 1995 5.0 with aode and always want to t5, so i bought another mustang to swap transsmision. The other car is 1994 5.0 T5. Both car are stock, mine have only changed exhaust. So I wanted to swap everythig that is needed from aode to t5. So I go that way and after week was time to first start with trany. I used everything from other car (clutch, preasure plate etc.) becouse here in Poland I can buy only gas and tyres... :/
So my problem is when I first start the motor everything seems to be OK, gear are working, clutch to, engine start normaly but, I've discovert that my engine has not work like before. it start to bounce, sway vibrate, and when i hit gas pedal this vibration was very hard, whole car starts to shake. :/ I've forgot to translate pilot bearing form other car (must to this now) but i dont think that could have connection with this vibrate. I think that is somting wrong with fly wheel, both engines should have 50 oz. imbalance. mayby you could help me ?
here in Poland nobody can help me, we don't have cars like this so last hope is in your hands.
here is photo of flexplate take off from my gt:
and flywheel form this other car:
is this flywheel good ?
like I have read alot about swap and it should work good but someting is wrong, car is not driving now, I take off t5 agiang and tommorow I want to translate pilot bearing.
both cars works good before swap.

yea if you pulled it outta the other car and it was working fine, it should be fine as long as its installed correctly..i would definatly get that pilot bearing installed because with it not there, there is a lot of room for the imput shaft tip to move around..would probably cause such vibration..

I thought I would just ask about the flywheel bolt because I knew a guy that could only get on bolt to align so he filed out 2 bolt holes and was driving his truck with 3 bolts in the flywheel. Sometimes the replacement tranny mounts are junk. Look and see if it is metal to metal anywhere. Let us know if that fixes it.

ok but I don't think that monut couses this engine and whole car shaking, when car is on idle about 900 rpm, I could hear like engine rpm are sway. and when I hit gas pedal whole car start to very strong vibrate. I thing thats couse wrong flywheel balance. It's possible ?
Is it possible that my car have 28 oz. imbalance flexplate ? and this flywheel is 50 oz. ? I have read that every late 302 cui are 50 oz. but after whole this mess I don't what is true.
