new 700r4 shaking car

I jst got my new bowtie overdrives stage 2 700r4 installed,and the car shakes! vibrates and resonates the whole car,Feels like the drive shaft is off balence,it wont go above 4000 rpm before it shifts,im guessing cause the knock sensors are retarding the timing,the tail shaft they sent me was wrong so i swapped it with my O.E. shaft,I check all the drive shaft bolts,everything seems to be fine,but this car does not feel smooth like it did with the stock 700r4,WTF!!!! any advice is appreciated thx.

Re: new 700r4 shaking car

Hmm, even tho im talking to you on MSN, i will respond here anyway.

I had a similar problem with my buddys GMC 1500 with a 4l60e, he bought a upgraded tranny, threw it in, and turned out he needed a bigger torque converter.

I doubt it has to do with anything electrical.

Remove the tail housing, Use a flash light and look into the rear of the case where the output shaft goes through, about 1/2 inch in there you should see a bushing around the tail shaft. See if its there I have seen vibration after a build cause by its absence. Just something to check

Your knock sensor will have nothing to do with the 4000 rpm shifting problem, thats more to do with the TV cable or if there is something else going on.

Nice looking car btw
