I toasted something in my stock t56 and instead of rebuilding, I decided to buy a magnum. I found a used one for a great price and bought it. Previous owner said he had about 800 miles on it before I decided he didn't like the gear ratio. This is the one with the 2.97 first gear. So he bought another one and had this one for sale. I picked it up and bought a brand new RXT clutch and McLeod billet flywheel. Brand new clutch fork along with TOB. Replaced the pilot bearing too.
I did my clutch break in and other than what seems like an abnormally loud TOB whine I didn't notice any issues. Yesterday I took it higher in rpms than I had been during break in and that's when I noticed a strong vibration starting around 3500 rpm. It shakes the whole car. I am trying to think about the possibility of me missing a step along the way. I followed a write up on here that showed all the appropriate torque specs which I followed. I had my driveshaft shortened the required amount and the shop balanced it.
With it being rpm based and not speed based I doubt it has anything to do with the DS.
Any ideas? I'm racking my head and I'm just really hoping I didn't get hosed on the damn Transmission.
Thanks for any help you can provide and I'll answer any questions to help get some ideas flowing. Let me know what you can think of please!
