Tech QuestionSteve Duke , Elmira , NY , 68 dodge coronet Hey Rick how can you tell if you have a bad tranny mount (727)? I have a little vibration when I give her the gas. Or, could the balancer be bad? It doesnt do it when sittin' still just on accelleration & sometimes on decell. Thanks for all you help! Steve Steve- You basically eyeball it (if it is really oily and slimy, spraying it with brake cleaner can make any cracks stand out better), or grab the back of the tranny's extension housing and shake (vertically). You'll know if it is shot! Imperial Services (www.imperialservices.net) has urethane biscuit rear mounts, or consider swapping in a never x-member with the spool mount (Energy Suspension has urethane inserts for that style). A damper problem shows up even in neutral, vehicle at rest. Rick
