my number is 832-457-4660. i have never messed with the ls based style motors before, and since this is my dd i'd rather have someone help me out with it that knows what they are doing. i appreciate the responses, and just hope to get this done ASAP.

hey guys, i was hoping i could maybe get some help in this dept too. I just got my car back after having the t56 completely rebuilt. I put in a brand new clutch and flywheel, and when they installed the trans they put in a new poly trans mount. Just driving it today, it had the SES light on when i picked it up. I got the code checked, knock sensor 1 low input. I cleared it and drove the car for a good long while, pretty hard a few times, and it didnt come on for about an hour and a half of driving. Just before i came home it came back on under normal driving conditions. Am i right to think that this may be the new clutch chatter or the poly tranny mount sending vibration and creating a false knock in the sensor?

Maybe a pinched wire between the bell-housing and the block.
