RE: [MarcosManiacs] RE: propshaft vibration - 1600 crossflow engine, transmission and rear end

Thanks for the leads.  I’ll try JAE in the morning.  I found them much more helpful and reasonable when I ordered parts for the last engine rebuild.

If the transmission is English Ford.  Try Dave Bean or JAE in California.  Pennsylvania; Rd's.  They are all English Ford/Lotus parts suppliers.   Let me know if I can help on this.  Good luck, Steve V. Still working on the Marcos project in Arizona

I've been getting a vibration at about 3000 rpm and its been narrowed down to the prop shaft.  I brought it in to check on the balance but was told that the problem was that the front knuckle/spline is too worn where it slides through the oil seal onto the transmission output shaft.  Does anyone know where I can get a new front spline?  It's a 20 tooth spline and the outer diameter 1 3/8 inches.

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Danny
