I just love it that you really named it "Time Bomb". Rancid rocks.
UPDATE
Took some time yesterday to installed the the RevShift insert(blue). The install was rather easy.
I took the car out for a test and it shifted like butter. The driveline responds MUCH better and faster. ~70% of the "spoon in peanut butter" shifter feel is gone!! Getting first and reverse are easier than ever . . .
Now for the vibration . . . there was a LOT more than with the perished mount. It may because of the dual mass turd now transmitting more vibes due to a more solid mount. It vibed enough to rattle the exhaust and other components under the car. I'm going to use http://www.hurst-drivelines.com/file...ration-FAQ.pdf to do some troubleshooting tonight.
I attempted to reindex the driveshaft (no alignment dot on the diff pinion) again and no love . . . . will try this again tonight.
Still have motor mounts and shocks to do . . . Then on to the fun things like LS7 flywheel and clutch (the local LS1 shop will get this job )
Motor mounts and front shocks = DONE!!
The Driver side mount looked new . . . and passenger side is "perished"
After the temperature rose from nice to hell, I got lazy and didn't attempt to try indexing the driveshaft.
I did take it out for a few minutes but not enough the run through the full battery of test from the PDF. I'm starting to think the vibes are from the dual-mass turd. But it feels like a brand new car with the RevShift mounts and Creative-Steel Diff stuffs . .
I threw on 2 3/8" fender washers to space the transmission down from the chassis and the vibes are down by ~50%, it's still there but not as bad (still thinking it's the dual-mass turd).
I may try one more washer . . .
Nice score, good job on fixing the nigglies.
must be nice to have that lift!
wish like heck that I had one but I'd have to rebuild my garage
errr on second thought, is it even on a lift? I just assumed it was since the pictures were so clear.
If not then even more kudos to ya!
