Hey guys im 17 this is MY first car and its a 87 mustang gt 351 W motor anyways i took the motor out did a lot of tiding up and put a ballhousing i bought froma junkyeard on becuase mine was cracked...put a different tranny in that i had to a tranny shop got the casings changed from mine b/c i cracked a bolr hole ear off or it was cracked off...anyways i take off in the car get going 160 and the worse shake imagonable happens... ALOT of it is the in shifter handle//tranmission and the rest in the back end of the car.

anyways my tranny seems to bounch around alot i was wondering if there should move this much or any at all i was thinking the rubber mount might be gone. alot i think when i put my cross member in i may have put bolts through that are a little smaller than the holes didnt think it would matter...
Also if the rubbers are gone that the bolts go through the crossmember woulkd that make it shake/ bounch...


I really need help guys if i dont get it fiqured out by this sunday im selling out cuz im fed up

160 meaning KPH, check the crossmember for any probnlems including loose bolts, check the driveshaft bolts, mine were loose last year and I also had a bad vibration, check the tire balance, take it to a shop and maske sure your tires are weighted correctly. If none of those are it then hopefully someone else will know.
