- Thread starter Ironhead
- Start date
Dont have much of a choice built trans i have installed ,you can not bolt it to it ,the driveshaft does not even come close to touching it either on other trans ,its just bolted up to tail sectoin ,,,I dont see how it could be to absorb vibration in anyway :dontknow:
Did you come up with that on your own idea or what lol

Yeah I believe it's supposed to dampen vibrations as it does have a rubber piece in it like a harmonic balancer. I doubt it makes any noticeable difference at all since the first tranny I had didn't have it at all and it was not any different. Thanks for the reminder though ironhide. I bet it weighs about 10 lbs at least. I'll unbolt that biatch and rid of it

Guard for u joint? Wtf? Where did you come up with that shiat?:dontknow::chain:
How much does it weigh?
How much does it weigh?
I have seen other cars where they install pieces like that to prevent vibration at certain rpm. You know those automotive engineers like putting unnecessary stuff on vehicles, but in this case I am not 100% sure.
because butthead when drive shaft is installed its right next to yoke of the front u-joint ,and there is no rubber anything on it or in it ,its solid metal and the hole in center is much larger than the rear seal,,,and it weighs almost 8 lbs

Please weigh it and look closer. There is rubber in it as I've inspected it thoroughly in the past during my six speed conversion. Cornhole!!

It is a vibration dampener. Wont hurt to leave it off. Have had both ways, no difference.

You tell this man that's on his 3rd freaking truck!! Think he's torn into each one as well? Or has Ole Ironhead been paying kids to work on his babies?

Ding ding ding!! We have a winner!!
I guess I won't be eliminating this useless 10 lbs of steel and possibly rubber, that's still up for debate.

You meat smoker! Unless your DAMPNER is different from the ones I've seen, there's a ring of rubber separating the two pieces. The face and the outer ring
