    A833 Vibration Issue

    After much searching, spending money, the problem was a bent water pump pulley. The vibration disappeared once that was replaced. Live and learn! Pa karp

    A833 Vibration Issue

    Vibration is gone! After more money, oh well. I was able get to a drag strip, KRP in NE since Oahe had closed for the season. I made 4 passes in the 14's, the best at 14:74. Since KRP is at 2100 feet, with the factor that would be a 14:50. That was my goal all year. 14:50's is what it...

    A833 Vibration Issue

    Pay attention to what 67Dart273 tells you!. I pulled the belt off the water the water pump and, wala, my vibration went away! In examining the pulley and fan, the pulley was bent. My mechanic had not seen such a thing and he is a long time MOPAR guru. I did pull the trans, pressure plate...

    What clutch to buy?

    I just ordered a Ram billet flywheel an B & B Ram clutch package. I won't have to mess with the over center spring. $477 for the package from Jeg's. Curt Rees

    A833 Vibration Issue

    I have only the alternator belt, no air of power steering. I will pull the alternator belt and try it. The engine has the factory mounts. They looked good when I put the motor in. The transmission mount is factory. I do have a new one that will put in when we re-install the...

    A833 Vibration Issue

    I did the 2500 rpm test tonight. Clutch in trans in neutral and then trans in gear, clutch out trans in neutral. In each case no vibration at idle, once I increased the rpm to 2500 the vibration started. My conclusion is the vibration is pressure plate forward. Next step, pull the trans...

    A833 Vibration Issue

    It vibrates with the car stopped, clutch in or out, trans in neutral or in gear, clutched depressed. The vibration comes at 2500 rpm and will pulse. Our plan is to do what is being suggested. Step by step. Our suspicion is in the clutch area. Very possible the flywheel, even though it...

    A833 Vibration Issue

    I just talked to my engine builder. They can balance the pressure plate to the flywheel. That is what we are going to do. Lesson learned! Curt Rees

    A833 Vibration Issue

    We have determined the vibration issue is not transmission related. The transmission is coming out and we are going to take a hard look at the clutch disc, pressure plate and flywheel. The flywheel is a neutral balanced unit. The motor was blueprinted and balanced when it was put together...

    I have been chasing two vibrations in my 340 1969 'Cuda. I got the drive shaft issue taken care of, new drive shaft from a supplier that knew what they were doing. There is a 2nd issue. I have a vibration at 3000 rpm, aproximately 65 mph. When I kick in the clutch, let the engine go to...

    4 speed in A-body

    You do basically the same procedure in reverse when putting the handle back in. I did mine with the shifter mounted to the trans and the trans in the car. Much easier! You can't use to much lube! Curt Rees
