So I limped my trans a few weeks ago so I know a rebuild is coming. I started getting this weird vibration in the top of 4th gear when on the throttle even on my low tunes. Could this be the trans?

Could be converter. Need a Tech 2 and moniter the TCC.

Duplicate the vibration with a Tech 2 attached and see if the TCC is on or off while it's vibrating. If the TCC is applied it is probably slipping converter clutch. If TCC is not applied, it will be something else causing your vibration.

ok i ll pull out the trans to refresh it with a stage 6 anyway so i ll see what my C2 looks like. when im WOT the trans shift very well it's only when im at 60-70 and gently push the throttle (im running big twin 900-1000rwhp)
