TH350 3rd Gear Vibration
I have a Lq9 with L92 heads on motor. Car runs fine without any issues for normal driving all gears.
When I am full throttle and click 3rd I get a vibration, not a driveshaft vibration more like the trans is slipping maybe. A shutter all the way thru the gear till I lift
It still pulls fine just not sure what the problem is.
I have heard about a 3rd gear issue when the extra clutches get done.
Anyone seen this before? Should I pull the trans and have it checked out?
Its a brand new driveshaft balanced by a very reputable shop in NJ.
thanks

Adding clutches won't cause any issue with vibration.
You may be getting clutch chatter from too low line pressure. Put a gauge on the port toward the front, just behind the bell and see what it shows when you shift to 3rd.

What gauge should I use?
So put the gauge on the front-most cooler line?
thanks

Sorry I'm not good with transmissions or rear ends and always let someone build them for me.
I looked around is the blue port circled here what I am looking for?
I think I can get a test kit from Autozone through their tool loan program. If not I saw em on ebay for $40
