I thought it was my old motor mounts so I threw on a pair of solids that I got a good deal on. Well, they didnt help nor make the problem worse. I am wondering what I can start off doing to try and fix the problem? Could it be a bad harmonic balancer? Or could it be internal? Like the crank needing to be balanced? Or is it even possible for a flywheel to cause a vibe? I feel as if I have lost power from this vibe. My motor doesnt feel as strong as it did before the vibe problem. Any suggestions or recommendations? Should I just take it to a shop and go from there? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Cobra5.0JEEP</b> <br /><small>Member # 1482</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,27,13,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> is it missing or just vibrating? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TRIXSNK</b> <br /><small>Member # 2844</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,27,15,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> maybe one of those probs you mentioned but i believe that of you had a vibration that you could feel and changed from stock motor mounts to solid motor mounts then if it wasn't a problem with the mounts then the vibration would only be increased.......right? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CDT</b> <br /><small>Member # 5004</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,27,17,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> first check for a misfire, then try to seprate the transmission from the engine and see if it still does it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92greenlx</b> <br /><small>Member # 4734</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,27,21,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I am also having a slight misfire that feels a little bit like a slipping clutch but my clutch has less than 8000 mile son it.

I wonder if this is why i feel a loss in power. Could it be a bent flywheel and there is not contact all the way around to the clutch? <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
