Title: Tranny Help please
Post by: LBC4x4 on April 06, 2005, 05:26:10 PM

I just rebuilt my manual tanny in a 92 sidekick.  As I was reataching the rear drive shaft I noticed that it had a big dent in it.  When I get up about 50 miles per hour the  car starts to vibrate.  And I can't hear anything coming from the tranny.

So my question is this dent in the driveshaft the most likley cause of this noise or do you think that I have to pull the tranny back out.

Any advice would be great

It's definately the driveshaft. NOT the tranny. If you have a dent in the driveshaft, it's unbalanced. Since it's not balanced, while spinning, it will vibrate.
