    Yesterday I got my 75 Mav 4 door out of the tranny shop after major rebuild. When I left the shop I noticed a serious vibration as I took off and when it shifted from low to second it got worse. Back in the shop we could feel it on the lift.

    I told the shop owner since the only rotating part changed was the torque convertor it must be out of balance so he ordered another convertor and gave me a ride home.

    Today I hope it is well when it comes out of the tranny hospital.

    If by any chance you still have it I would try to rotate the driveshaft. Sometimes they have to go back in the same way they came out. I've never had a problem, but I've heard of some others on here that have. Hopefully it is gone with the TC change.:)

    Thanks for the tip on the drive shaft.

    I will call Steve and tell him.

    He does the tranny work for my car lot.

    when I installed the locker in my rearend the instructions said to make sure to mark the drive shaft orientation and put it back the way it came out..??? I did and didn't have any problems.
