Got Tranny Rebuilt... Now My Car is Vibrating....
I just got my car back from getting the transmission rebuilt. I got a lot of stuff done. Rebuilt tranny... new torque converter... seals and everything. Now when I drive my car and it vibrates. It's not horrible but I can tell the difference. When I'm goin down the interstate I can't feel it as bad but it still vibrates. I'm wondering should I take it up to the place **1/2 a mile down the road** and get them 2 fix it because I have a warranty on it. Or is there anything I should check or put in. Should I check the transmission fluid? Or any bolts I can reach or what? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Car: "'86 Camaro
Engine: Two 1/2 Squirrels
Transmission: Shimano
Theres a few things I would check myself to begin with. The drive shaft would have had to have been dropped to do the work, did they redo the u-joints? Bad u-joins could vibrate. Is the shop certified to do the work? Did they use new parts or used? I would get a list of parts used to see what exactly they did. If the drive shaft was put back in at 180 degrees, it may be out of balance. I think I might take it back to the shop where the work was done and bitch till I got satisfaction. Good luck.

Could be the tranny mount, I know I had a broken one and now my car feels great, no vibration at all which is really weird cause it vibrated since I got it ;-)

O.K.... camaro is back from the shop. I drove it to work today. They put in a new bolt and tightened it up. It still not fixed. It still vibrates. It isn't really bad. But when I let go of the brake and it's going forward it shakes forwards and backwards like an unbalanced washing machine... not REAL bad but it moves. Going down the interstate it will vibrate. I'm gonna get them 2 check the U-Joints tomorrow and the drive shaft. I better get it back to running good or I will be mad. I coulda spent $800 on my interior and have it done...
