'orrid vibration
coming from drive line. Between 5000 and 6000rpm approx. and more violent in 5th gear for some reason.
I have put the car on stands, removed the wheels calipers and discs and then run the car through the gears.
Could it be the flywheel ? I have recently fitted a lightened one.
Gearbox maybe ?
The vibration is bad enough to ensure that on the track I don't go beyond 75mph as the car feels just awful.
The rear wheel bearings are fine and a new propshaft centre bearing was fitted 3000 miles ago together with a new modified (to suit Ford gearbox) and balanced propshaft.
Thanks for any help.

I think I have an answer and you won't believe it Huh
Whilst inspecting the propshaft centre bearing I noticed some fairly heavy denting on the exhaust, it is hitting the propshaft middle joint flange Banging head I will arrange for more clearance with the exhaust and see what happens, could be a cheap easy fix..... fingers crossed Smile
Or it's gearbox related and probably the tailshaft housing bush...... Angry
Anyone know how much lateral movement there can be in the propshaft centre bearing bush ?
Thanks,
TC
