    Default Vibration / Not Moving

    I’m having a problem with my GT Turbo driveline. There are times when i try to take off from a stop i get a strange vibration. The car feels like its trying to move but the brakes are locked. The brakes are not locked so i think it’s a driveline thing. Sometimes it actually stalls the car. Once moving it feels like I’m driving on square wheels. Any idea what would cause this? I’ve also had trouble down shifting into first unless I’m at a dead stop. HELP!

    Check your pinion and see if it's loose. Better yet, pull the cover and check to see if pinion gear is contacting your carrier. That will cause a pretty bad bind. Marks on the carrier should be very noticeable, if that's the case.

    I had this happen on my 86 GT, thought the trans was falling out.
