Question on Gearvendors overdrive . Is it a basic bolt in operation for a
i tried one, it was a big expense for 700 rpm, it blew up twice in under 500 miles and they wouldn't warranty their last rebuild so i tried selling it but after i would explain the situation [ i'm to honest ] no one was interested so i gave it to a buddy who has been fitghing a vibration for over a year now.
I have 4 of them, behind all kinds of things from a truck at 6800 lbs with 500/500 to 3 street cars from 600 all the way up to 1400+
I am no easy pansy take it easy driver, even towing, how in the hell you blew up two in 500 miles is beyond me, but you most definitely had to be doing something wrong, as my oldest GV is over 20 years old and seen more drag racing in that 6800 lb truck than it has towing, it has even embarrassed a few ricers with the trailer on power shifting and never ever hurt the GV once in over 20 years.
Vibrations can be from people using the GV and trying to cruise around at low rpms, as i have had customers try and cruise around at 1200 rpm... why in the hell would anyone want to or THINK their motor is going to be it's most efficient at 1200 rpms....
Vibrations can also be caused from people lowering the trans mount rather than slightly make the room needed.
Vibrations could be from the shaft that was made and the lack of balancing or lack of correct work.
Vibrations can be from the person who measured it and doesn't know how important it is that slip yoke be in the right location in that GV, and the driveline shop having no experience with that either and gave it more slip then it needs.
