[QUOTE="badmpg03, post: 15653966, member: 179522"] Thanks for the tip. I am not sure what fluid we are using, but my trans is already feeling clunky and not like it did on my first drive. I will mention we do this asap. The wheel was bent. I got the wheel repaired locally but not sure if they did the job 100%. The vibration was about 90% gone after I initially got the wheel back. Now it has gone back to more vibration and assuming the more I drive it, the worse it will get. I think there is still an issue with the wheel. Even after the repair - to balance the tire on the wheel, the tire shop stacked all the wheel weights in a concentrated area again indicating there is still a rotational problem with the wheel. I think it is still jacked. Not sure. My shop (Heidman Racing ) has been doing a great job in helping me with this. We have talked with Full Tilt Boogie and D&D on different occasions addressing everything. I am pretty confident the drive line is in good shape. I think there may be an issue with my clutch, and I am guessing still an issue with the wheels. I am going to have the shop swap the trans fluid, change the wheels again first back to the stokers and see what happens from there. Agreed on your points. The reason we didn't check the wheels in first place is they were perfectly in order when I put them on the car, and I drove 4-6 weeks with everything running smoothly. Initially, we had more issues with the input /out on the stock t56transmission, which is why I first serviced the car. But at the time with my BBS RK's, no vibration issues to speak of. This is where I still don't know what happened....I drop the car off with wheels tires in good condition. I get the car back after the magnum swap and, we didn't know it at the time, but the passenger rear was very bent. I didn't hit anything, no road rash of any damage to show on the wheel. Wheel looks brand new. We had no reason to suspect the wheel for damage. My shop did everything i requested to figure out the vibration, changed axles back and forth, changed gears, new LSD, changed driveshafts, changed pinon angles 2-3X. Makes me upset how much money I spent and and time we wasted trying to figure all this out, but whats done is done. Obviously have now learned start simple then work to complicated. The fun part now is the wheel that was bent is a BBS RK that is no longer made. I paid a lot for the set. It still feels a little out of whack but not sure what to do on seeing if it can be repaired to normal. If not, I am up a creek because who is going to sell me 1 18x10 BBS RK wheel. That will be fun to track down. Anyway, so long as we are making progress I am not worried. I was upset after 4-5 months of the spending a lot of money on the car and getting nowhere. [/QUOTE]
