    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    If necessary, I can try the other one since it's laying within 4' of my car.

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    No, only under load. It does NOT have the preload plate installed.

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    Yes Dan - Energy. No vibration issues with 2 previous T-56 boxes. I've had this bushing in the car for 25 years with a near-stock driveline. No damage to it. Original (Trans #1) got the Ipsco shifter about 4500 miles ago. Had tunnel interference troubles until I bought the Ipsco rear x-member...

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    Here is where to look on the passenger frame rail. It is very hard to see, so use a small paint brush to clean the area under the headlight bucket next to the radiator support. The dark photo is on my 96, the second is from my 98 parts car. Only the last 2 letters and final 6 numeric digits are...

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    Try touching base with the Viper guys in Great Britain. They have a club FB page and I bet someone can help.

    Need tire help! And how bad are old tires….

    Just make sure the tires are properly inflated and not showing obvious signs of suspension maladies.

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    It has to have a VIN, or it isn't authentic.

    IPSCO short throw shifter issue

    Stump DDS failed with the ability to look at a problem from both sides: if he had flipped the IPSCO crossmember over, it would lower the tail housing for just a bit for more shifter clearance, AND it allows you to use the 3/4" long bolt in a countersunk orientation to secure the bushing.

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    There was a thread on here lately exactly about this. Can't remember what european country it was but he had the same question. https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/vin-another-where-is-it-thread.678687/

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    Are you talking about a GTS-R tube-frame racecar builit by ORECA? Or, do you have a road legal replica? Below is the very first GTS-R racing chassis built. After GTSR, they all will have sequential C**. This VIN/Homologation plate is on the toe box below the windshield and above the driver door...

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    Back from Hastings with no change in the vibrations. Have only just started post-event inspection and nothing out of sorts. I will try loosening the motor and trans mounts, get the floor jack under the oil pan and lift gently to resettle - same with the trans, then re-torque all 3 fasteners and...

    Stamped Fin Number location?

    I believe it is on the top of the upper passenger frame rail. Behind the headlight pod, ahead of the shock tower and near the hood hinge inboard mount. You are correct, there is no GTC from Chrysler.

    T56 tranny parts

    I'd like to shorten my 5th gear to 0.85/0.86 and keep my 0.5 6th for highway cruising. Is this possible, or are the 5/6 gears machined as an integrated pair?

    Cam (NO HEAD WORK) Question :)

    Somebody can probably find the video, but a guy did a really nice YouTube of ECU tuning improvements on his gray/silver creampuff. I think he picked up 30-some HP with just basic mods?

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    There's no more tire-induced vibration, but the shifter still has some harmonics in it. Time's up and I'm going to run it as-is.

    Cam (NO HEAD WORK) Question :)

    Beware - if you have a Gen 2, the earlier heads had some pretty noteworthy casting shift leading to thin port walls and water leaks with not much grinding work. It's advisable to talk to a reputable porter who has experience with Viper heads.

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    I went out this morning and scrubbed the marbles off the A7 rears, then drove by Discount and made a will-call appointment to have them balanced. I don't recall the vibration with my street tires, but didn't drive very many miles on them since the trans swap before mounting the Hoosiers.
