Slykin Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 What the title says... I replaced my engine/trans mounts and my harmonic balancer. When I removed the harmonic balancer with a giant cheater bar(with new poly mounts in) the engine/transmission felt like it was binding up and the transmission is a bit cock-eyed(like it got torqued/twisted and it's stuck there) now. Could this mean the drivetrain is locked into a bound up position and could this be causing an engine vibration that I have? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 On new motor mounts? Seems far fetched as you would of had to blow out the mounts to lock them. Did you check the motor mounts to make sure they're aligned in the holes right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 They should be fine.. they're sitting in the bottom of the k-member slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 What is this vibration again? When is it occurring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPVinyl Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 You may be feeling a vibration that has always been there. Poly mounts are stiffer than factory rubber mounts and will transmit more vibration to the body. After all that is the purpose of poly mounts is to be stiffer than rubbermatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 What is this vibration again? When is it occurring?1400-1900 RPM's with the clutch in or out. You can't feel it in the clutch pedal. The whole car vibrates and you can see the steering wheel vibrating up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a misfire, i'd have noticed it DD'ing for the last month lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 any possibility for the the trans input to not be inline with the crank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 any possibility for the the trans input to not be inline with the crank?I suppose it's technically possible, but the engine/tranny were lined up outside of the car and were flush.

I'm out of possible causes other than that, or motor problems. And lets hope that isnt the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I hope not. It has a lot of miles on it, but it still seems to be running strong. If it isn't the pressure plate/flywheel out of balance, the drivetrain bound up, or a bad HB, i'm lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Driveshaft balanced? Header rubbing on something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 let me throw this one at ya. When i bought my 95 gt, i had a really bad vibration, guy had told me a new transmission was put in, but with the horrible misfire it had i didnt notice anything other than that. When i eventually dropped the trans because second gear was blown out, i noticed the input shaft was from a fox rather than a sn95 and the pilot bearing was basically gone. might not be your issue, but throwing out ideas that might spark somethin!

Header isn't rubbing either :/let me throw this one at ya.

That and my side exhaust has changed my focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
