    Defective flywheel

    I bought a flywheel back last year when I did my swap, decided while I had everything apart I might as well change the clutch and flywheel. Funds were limited after having to buy a new engine and all the other misc. parts I needed so I tried cutting corners as best as I could. I found this...

    Vibration around 1400 rpms

    what I did was throw the rear of the car up on jack stands and then I took it up to 55-60 mph and there's NO vibration, so I assume if it were the driveshaft even with it on the jackstands I should of felt the vibrations right? I notice when i'm at that speeds (where it vibrates worse) and if I...

    Vibration around 1400 rpms

    ahh I saw 2 connectors on the tranny that I had to disconnect when we pulled it I assumed one of them had something to do with the traction control. I did unplug the switch when I removed the shifter but I know I also plugged it back in, I guess I'll have to fiddle around with it find out...
