i've watched pretty much all of this thread and this caught me. i think i've heard of transmissions causing vibration (i wonder where i saw that...) did it really reduce the vibs that much?
or was it the mount that caused the reduction in vibration?

either way it's good to see you're rollin' in a stro with a smile again :supz:

I'm with you, usually the mount. The bushing in the tailshaft can cause vibration when worn also.

Good to hear that your making progress Justice! Not many '87s around here even worth working on with the rust and all.
