New Vibrations
Hey everyone,
I think I need a little bit of e-diagnosis.
A little over a week ago I had some tranny work done on my 05 GT. I had the sychros replaced along with the clutch/flyweel (putting in a Ram HDX and Ram Flywheel) and the slave/TOB.
Since I got the car back I am getting some vibrations that weren't there before. One is while cruising at about 70 mph, I get a pretty decent feeling vibration (it appears to be harmonic and follows a sinusoidal pattern). The other is while lazy shifting upon acceleration I get one about 2300 rpm that feel like a shudder (that is about the same rpm as 70 mph is with my 4.10s). Finally while doing low speed manauvers in 3rd (no I don't drive low speeds in 3rd, just end up there in parking lots sometimes), the car doesn't only lug, but I also get some clutch chatter.
The car is back at the shop, but I have the feeling that they are going to try to expressly blame the clutch/flywheel (which I supplied) so they don't have to do anything. I'm wondering if it isn't the install that is a little off. Maybe some alignment or adjustment.
One other weird thing is that when I got the car back the clutch engagement was really really touchy (like it felt like only the last inch of the pedal depressment was the engagement/disengagement, and the first few inches of pressing the pedal was like there was nothing there. This has since corrected itself and it feels normal now, but I don't know if that might not play into it. This is one of the reasons I am thinking install/adjustments.
Anyone have any thoughts? I am trying to educate myself so I can get them to really take a good look at it.
Thanks!
