I couldn't figure out what you were implying at first, but now I understand. Take shims from one side of the carrier and add them to the other, bringing the ring gear closer to the pinion. That...

BG your comment about biodiesel combusting slower than diesel would fit nicely with the hypothesis that the flywheel is the culprit. A heavier flywheel would tend to dampen the vibration caused by...

Almost everyone who does the swap complains about vibrations. I don't think its a coincidence.

No, the driveshaft is custom, but if it were the culprit, it would not just show up under load.

After trying everything I can think of, I have a new theory. But first I'll list everything that I have done to remedy the vibration.

I don't know, I am targeting it because its the only thing left. I would assume that injection pump problems are going to be noticeable at low RPM just like a bad injector due to the low injection...

So you used a 240 crossmember with an automatic mount? Or the automatic crossmember?

Could you describe this vibration? I would like to know what RPMs are affected most (and what gears).

The clutch fits snuggly on the input shaft of the tranny, so I can rule that out. I would like to amend my statement a little. There seems to be two different vibrations here. One at about 1900 in...

I forgot to add that the transmission is the newer aluminum housing, and that it seems to function normally. It shifts fine, and no strange noises.

And as far as...
