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.
