Vibration = tranny?

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

josh,
metal in tranny = bad, but cant cause that kind of vibration (at least not
without sound to go along with it).
tires can be balanced, but still have 'hard spots', which only lead to
vibration when the tire is actually under load. there are special badass
balancers to deal with this:
