Gents, I have a question for the collective.
Upon purchase of my Mustang I noticed the speedometer did not function.
I did a little surfing on the net and came to the conclusion the speedo gear had came loose from the shaft of my T5 transmission. So I ordered a new clip and set off on pulling the trans. I pulled the tail shaft housing, installed the new clip and reinstalled the tranny , along with a new cable, new polyurethane tranny mount, and Mobile One synthetic ATF.
Now the problem, I have a very bad vibration at about 2500 RPM( Sorry I dont have a tach yet to give a exact RPM).
I have previously put new u joints in and ran fine, so I can rule those out.
I have put about ten clutches in different cars over the years so I think I am not a rookie at this. But I can't figure this one out.
I did not pull the bell housing or clutch. Could I have bound something up upon install? Bad pilot bearing? Could I have thrown the drive shaft out of balance, somehow?
Any ideas or suggestions would be very beneficial.
