    i recently purchased a tranny, and ever since we put it in i noticed a lil more vibration then i was used to..., i think,. i also sent out the converter back to fti to get checked, removed the tie down engine strap and replaced it witht the rjc engine bracket.. all im saying is i feel a bit more vibration in my feet on the floor, and my hands on the wheel, tranny came from ck performance so, from what i was told its the best, just wondering if its normal or what possibly to check.. car runs great for the most part, been wet latly so havent been able to stand on it yet but sure cant wait...

    Does it vibrate only when driving? Or does it do it sitting at idle in park or neutral too?

    yes, and yes, in netural, and for some reason, car vibrates alot (much more than normal) in reverse.. i know my car, and it never used to feel like this, driveshaft theroy sounds good, because the lil cap looking things, fell out a couple times when i was installing them, and i think it may of hit the floor, when i had it on a dirtbike bag in the garage i think it may of touched the floor, not dropped from high up, but i also heard thats all it takes to mess that up, not sure what to do next.. is there a way i can check this...?? thanks for the in put..

    If it does it in neutral it isn't the driveshaft.

    Take out the RJC engine bracket and see if the vibes go away.

    Clock the TC. Mark spot as you may have to do this more than once to find the correct placement.
