    03 cummins vibration

    Its a 6spd stick so torque converter cant be lose......It shakes the whole truck only at 5-about 18mph...doesnt matter about rpm on engine or choice of gear..Or if its i gear, out of gear, on the brakes or off......and no shakes at idle while not moving..engine is the best part of the truck!!!

    93 Chevy trans(4l80E I think)
