Vibration = tranny?
Josh, When you store your car do you put it up on jackstands? Or do you leave it on the ground and inflate the tire to max psi? And did you have this problem at the end of last season before storing it, or did it appear after bringing it out of storage? The reason I ask, it is very possisble that in the event that you let the car sit over the winter with improperly inflated tire you could develop and flat spot. Yes I have heard this can not happen to radials because of the steel belts, but as poly resin technology has improved many manufactures are using poly belts. My roc sits on carpet in the garage and the tires are over inflated between driving sessions and then lowered to driving specs when I take it out. It is just a thought. Brian

Drained the tranny fluid and discovered a lil' piece of a clamp sitting on
the drain plug...
now, Iam fairly certain that chunks of metal in tranny = bad things...
Now, could this tie into the vibration I've been suffering?
Lets recap this.
Vibration at speeds from 50-65mph or so. Already have new axles, checked
EVERYTHING else. Thought that Im also wondering about is a belt in a tire,
but I haven't gotten a chance to switch tires, plus if it was a belt
shouldn't it shop up on the balancer?
The vibration is not noticeable (it seems) when accelerating, but cruising
at 50-65 mph (isn't at the same speed 100% of the time, sometimes at 50, but
not at 60, sometimes at 65 but not at 55) it does show up. If I put the car
in neutral the vibration stays but "might" not be as noticeable. But even
with the car in neutral the whatchamacallit shaft in the tranny still
spins..
