TKO-600 installed
I finnished installing my TKO-600 in my 65 Tempest last night and took it around the block for the first time. Everything seems fine except for a slight vibration in neutral at around 2k. Any suggestions on what to look for?

If it did not vibrate before, Clutch / flywheel package would be the first thing I would look at.

What engine? Internal or external balance?

Did you have the flywheel balanced to match the flexplate it replaced? I did mine and was not expecting it to be off as much as it was.

400 Pontiac, internal balance, factory flywheel from another car. Luk clutch set.Very slight imbalance. You start to feel it at about 2K and by 2500 it's as bad as it gets.

Well, I have had to blance pressure plate up to 20 grams before to get them to zero balance. never used that brand. The factory flywheel should be good though not often out very much. that is a internal balance set up, so having them checked is easy. just have the flywheel spun and checked / balanced than do it with the PP on it.

I realy don't want to pull that trans out again. I may see if one of the local shops can get it in.
