Right now I am leaning towards a new converter. I have a new one being shipped out in a few days. I am not sure this is the problem, but by changing it out I will eliminate at least one part!
I had my dad ride along Sunday afternoon for a while and the both of us are sure we don't know anymore now then before the ride!
Heres what I do know for sure, at full throttle the vibration starts around 2500 and never quits. When pulling a hill, the harder I step down the worse it gets, once I let off it takes it a bit to settle down. Down hill or on level, it runs fine at any speed.
So what does this tell me? It takes a pretty good load on the engine to set off the vibration.
The converter, u-joints, ring & pinion, and combustion chambers (more heat, higher pressures). A rpm related vibration wouldn't care if it was loaded or not, tires, driveshaft, balancer, flywheel, etc.... Something is changing when worked hard. Joe
