At first it was just the tranny stick that would shake, so I changed the u-joints on the driveshaft, while I was down there I even removed the flywheel and had it balanced and resurfaced. Nothing has helped so far, and the weird thing is that the steering wheel shakes the most,and it even shakes when I just rev up the car in neutral. I'm stuck like chuck, any input would be appreciated. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Eagle347</b> <br /><small>Member # 6205</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(2006,2,22,22,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It could be the harmonic balancer. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>COBRAreflection</b> <br /><small>Member # 5247</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(2006,2,22,22,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I was thnking it could be that, and even took the pulley off to be reminded I need the crank pulley to remove it.
