Flywheel question...

Ieatcamaros · 03-25-2005, 11:36 AM

I am almost certain that it is the flywheel or balancer. If you don't have any friends with mustangs to borrow parts from, I guess it'll be cheaper for you to buy a new balancer and try it first. Then try the flywheel. Can you post pics? If you could post some pics of the balancer and flywheel, we can tell you through pics if something is wrong with them. Then, you would only have to buy one of these.

I'll take som pics of the balancer first (but I can't remove it yet), maybe I'll post a video do give you an idea how mutch it vibrates.

From what I can tell the balancer looks fine. I cant imagine that it would just go bad, given everything you have explained.

Take some pictures of the back side of the flywheel. Maybe if you take the starter off and rotate the flywheel until the weighted part comes visible we can tell you something.
