OK so. Its not the diff I took it apart Clean Nothing Looks all perfect everyhing is together Cheaked all my Suspension mounts axle mounts all fine. When im at the back I look forward And that large bar that guides the axle Seems to look like its bending a bit i dont know. Everything seems to look fine. my tires need to be alighned majorly they are sooo off its scary life that toe in toe out thing i dunno. After i cheaked everything ANd it was all fine. I had to do it. I drove it couple blocks same problems as before HUGE like guys i mean the whole car rattles Vibrations The only thing that could cause that would be the Tranny right? im gonna crawl up there and cheak all the mounts. as i was told before the rearend is really strong. so its probly not that so im kinda lost i dont got the budget to take her to a shop right now so its all on me the vibrations are all related to RPMS I can do like 1500 But any more and VVVVIBRATIONS still got the grinding noises. 2 weeks till i have the money to take it to a shop so im the meantime im gonna try n fix her myself.
IF anyones got a schematic of the rearend where all the bolts connect and stuff it apreciate U hookin it up. Thanks a ton guys for all your help i guess im pretty much on my own. Thanks

 

Now it's time to work your way forward. Inspect the U-joints, the driveshaft for twisting, the trans mount, and the torque arm.

Does it vibrate in park or neutral? Or just in drive? Do the vibrations vary with speed or RPM?

 

Just In drive and with RPM not speed AMature car guy and 85firebird_nitro are 2 diff ppl im just ****ed and forgot my ol pass so i usin his this is 85fire right now

 

i think ive just beeeeeen denieing the enivitable tranny is dead ill just save and get a new 1. ANyone know of a good cheap tranny + shift kit?? spit?

 

ME?
Spend the $40 & have a shop check it out.
You don't know.
You are GUESSING.
Spend the few pennies & go forward.
OR ask a guy to come check it out for saving the tow bill.
Ya play ya pay. Sorry. We've all been there.
Honest.
Some days, we even revisit!

I still have nothing to add...

And I still think this post is friggen hilarious Sorry to rub salt in the wounds, just waiting to hear what the hell you did...

 

Today is the best day of my life. I Found the problem, Im in heaven. Its simple so simple When i saw it I almost cryed. OK so today I had nothing to do so i said F UCK it lets find the problem. I couldent Find my Jack And my car is really low like 2 1/2 inches SO theres no way I can get under it. SO i found A really steep Hill Parked WIth the front wheels on the hill and the back on the flat. Crawled under there. Hmm Look look Pull push. I glance to the back of the car. Notice the Axle Looks funny Look farther into it AHA!!! That Guide the axle has I think its axle control arm not shure the back only has 1 bold and is twisting up. The virations are from the axle rubbing on the car. BAd noises Suspension Misconnection cuz of the direction of the axle.SO it seems after the long years of use IT worked a bold some of the way out. When I tranny dropped It slammed that bolt out. Causing all these problems. I cant frighkin believe it thanks so much for all your posts Especially that guy that keeps coming and just laughing. thanks lol. Does anyone know what type of bolt it is Or how about torque specs??? Thanks a ton guys for all your help...

Is that the bolt for the panhard rod? (That's the suspension piece that goes driver's side-to-passenger side, above the rear axle.) I lost that one right after my 3.73/posi/disc swap; I never re-torqued the bolts, and one worked its way loose. My driveshaft was smacking the exhaust's i-pipe!
