A long time ago, I posted a thread about vibration problems after I installed 4.10s. Well I finally found the culprit. The guy at the gear shop was pretty convinced that the problems were in the transmission, probably worn bearings. Well, I finally pulled the transmission and sent it to the shop. The splines on the main shaft and the 5th/6th gear were worn and had play in them. The new gears just magnified a problem already there. I thought I would share this with you all if you have similar problems after gear installs. I am looking forward to getting the clutch and tranny installed!

A little over 98,000. The rest of the tranny was perfect. I changed out and toped off the fluid regularly. It was kinda strange. I kept the main shaft and the gear so I was able to witness the play & wear on the splines. I have driven the car on a lot of long 1,000+ trips at sustained speeds over 90mph.Originally posted by Joe K. 96 Zeee!!'77 K5 rock-crawler project
