OK heres the deal.. I bought another fox, LX.. put my motor and trans in it.. and now it has a MARJOR vibration.. The vibration is so bad that oil spews from the rear main seal at high RPM's.. The main shaft in the trans is ok.. no major wear signs.. but the nose cone(throwout bearing support) is scored HEAVILY on the very end. It almost looks like the fingers on the clutch contacted it.. What would cause the nose cone to wear on the end only..? You can see where the throwout bearing rests, when the clutch is engaged, but there is no wear there.. any help is appreciated guys.. oh yeah.. it's a tremec 3550 and a zoom clutch..
