Thread: Vibration 23 T

Tweet

23 T with 327 and 350 trans. I'm getting a vibration at 30 to 40 mph. I replaced the trans mount and universal joints and it still vibrates. I noticed when I pulled the driveshaft the splined shaft on the trans has some play in it. Could this be the problem and what is the cure?

More than likely, that's your problem but, I don't know how to fix it.

We need a little more info, is this a NEW build or was it running fine and just started the vibration, or mabey started after installing new part/s, let us know, also pics of the car will help.

yep that splined shaft could be the problem and so could bent wheels, unbalanced tires, dampner slipped, engine misfirin', flat spotted tires, etc... etc... or just because it's a T-bucket that usually rides like that anyway...

Mine don't, course my best friend does hi tech computer alignments and did a four corner alignment for me

Yeah it could be anything. First things I would try are the easiest things which are tire balancing (which is one of the biggest causes), alignment, worn bearings or ball joints or anything like that, etc. I don't have a T bucket or nothing so I can't say much but I am just telling you the most common problems which you probably already know.

It just started. I bought it used. It seems to be built right, although it has always ridden a little rough. It just seems to have more vibration than it used to. I'll get some pics tomorrow. Can the play be taken out of the splines from the trans? Is there a bearing or something back there?

Or...........while driving put it in neutral, if the vibration stops it's in the driveline, if not it's in the chassis
