tranny vibration

[AZ2001F-350]

i have a 2001 F-350 first gear have vibration at take off. i stopped at the local tranny shop they said it needed to be rebuilt has any one ever had this problem the truck has 117,000 miles

vibration at take off is usually either a worn carrier bearing rubber bushing, or a carrier bearing alignment issue. if it is the alignment, it can be only fixed for one of two instances. you can shim it to make the truck not vibrate unloaded, or you can shim it not to vibrate loaded.....it will vibrate in the condition you dont fix it for....kinda tricky to fix....but not a difficult repair to make. just time consuming.

It's nice how the tranny shop tried to bend you over and you probably still would have had the vibration afterward....

i dont think there bending me over to bad it will only cost me a $100 to rebuild the tranny with my warranty i have and a $1000 to do kevlar plates for an upgrade. the truck has a 6" lift and it has 2 half in. plated to shim it down it looks pretty stright. the carrier bearing has i little play. i dont know what is to much
