Default Driveline Vibration?

So I bought my V with 48xxx miles on it. I've put 10,000 on it to date.
It had the famous diff clunk from a bad bushing. I finally got around to installing it this weekend and installed the revshift tranny insert while I was under there. I now have a mean vibration in the lower rpms and seems real bad in 3rd. I went and had an alignment done this morning just to make sure and all tires have less than 6000 miles on them. Stil there afterwards.

Im about to go check the harmonic balancer for a wobble.

Were the collapsed stock bushing hiding the fw vibration that much?

It would have the diesel shakes on turn off before, havent noticed it since though.

Is it time to go with the ls7 clutch set up?

The balancer is wobbling all over the place. Guess Ill do that first before a clutch.

Any write ups for changing it and which one for an ls6
Thanks

Hmmm.....sounds just like the vibration I had a few days after installing another company's transmission mount. This was all after I had done a clutch/pp/flywheel, motor mounts and a balancer, so I don't think that's your problem. Does your vibration occur in neutral as well? Mine did.

I guess we'll see if mine comes back when I install the revshift trans mount insert here soon.

Check your motor mounts. Diesel shakes are a symptom of bad stock motor mounts.

Yeah I read that before. I was gonna order your motor mounts when I can. You guys did me right on my last order. your customer service has already gained a customer for life.

I need to do the HB and then your motor mounts with some headers.
