Highway Vibration Recently had a rebuilt tranny plus 3000 stall installed. Installer said that they had trouble lining up the stall and that my torque arm bushing was shot to s**t. Now when i drive at highway speeds 60+ I get this wierd vibrating that comes and goes with and the faster i go, it goes. what could it be, mount or stall?

Its a TCI StreetFighter 3000, The guy I took it to tried explaining to me why he didnt like it and how i shouldnt use, he owns a converter shop, just thought he was trying to sell me a stall of his own. Will try the mount and check the yolk/u-joints.

i don't know what flexplate you are using but a lot of times you just need to spin the flexplate so a bolt will slide through and fit into the converter. a lot of times flexplates will have more than 3 holes. my meziere has 6 holes. when i first tried to line it up to the converter i was like ****, these do not line up. but i knew they did because i checked before i installed the flexplate/converter. it just turned out that i didn't have the correct holes lined up. i found it easiest to put the bolt through the oval shaped hole in the flexplate first and go from there. once i did this everything slid into place perfectly. also, i think TCI stalls use different size bolts than the stock 10mm bolts (i think TCI uses 7/16" bolts).
