<div>I would add something to Jon’s response.

<div>Is the damper weight still attached to the diff extension? That’s the triangular thing mounted with three rubber pucks. Check that and the extension mount as the final drive can easily set up harmonic vibrations just as you describe. In fact that’s probably
what destroyed the drive train on the Group 2 race car at Nuremberg ring in the 70’s. </div>

between 60mph and 68mph for as long as I want.</span></p>

of course). The modification also required a new propellor shaft which was supposedly balanced.</span></p>

vibration through the car at anything over 60 mph. If I pushed it past 70 mph then the vibration abated.</span></p>
