Hi!
Maybe someone here is able to help me. At first, please excuse my bad english, i am from Germany.
My ride is a 1988 Firebird 2.8l (or 173 cui ?) with 5 Speed. Well, last winter i had to put in a new engine, cause the old was broken (after 180.000 miles) I was glad to buy another V6 2.8l with automatic from 1987 for a few bucks. The car was broken, but the engine is in great condition. So i took the engine from the automatic and plant it in my 5 Speed. I changed everything like Flywheel, dumper etc. But now, when i start the engine it vibrates and as more as i smash the gas, the vibration grows. And the vibration is strong, the whole car vibrates as i would drive very fast on cobblestone(?). So what is wrong? Is it cause damper, crankshaft and flywheel dosen't harmonize?
Has anyone some good ideas for me?
Thank you very much and greetings from Germany
