Message	Hi guys, trying to diagnose this issue. There was lots of talk many years ago about the Nismo transmission mount putting the drivetrain out of alignment. My mistake was to install both a 1-pc driveshaft and a Nismo transmission mount simulataneously, and sold the OEM parts. I’ve had this high frequency vibration ever since, anywhere over 100mph. I called around, no local shops can balance the DS for a reasonable price. I tried clocking the DS, no go. What are the odds the transmission mount is the issue from your collective experiences? Thanks ____________________________________________________________ _____________________ Im n0t Sarcastic (Kenny): not to over do it, but you're certainly the source of high-class Z mods ZEngineer24: what do you mean by that?
