Pulled the Camaro out of storage today (Sat since end of November) and when I shift under load, It feels like something is "loose". When shifting and placing torque on the drive line there is a "shift / movement" for lack of a better term. The "by the butt feel" it seams like it is from the front near rear of motor.

8200 miles on her I have put on 1100 of those since purchased last fall.

When I get it on stands what all to check?

Drive Shaft (aftermarket NHRA one piece)
U-joints
Trans Mount (This is where it feels like it originates from)
Body mounts
Engine mounts
Frame connectors (SLP)
Rear end connections (Moser 12 bolt)

When shifting with little acceleration you don't feel it.

Any other things to check?

 

Trans mount would be the most common issue but at 8200 miles? It could be something with the torque arm mount also.

 

It has had a lot of upgrades in those 8200 miles (prior to my owning)

I suspect something was not properly torqued when reassembled.

Will have it on stands Monday to give it a once over.

Brakes were upgraded to Wilwoods at some point also, and the Ebrake does not properly engage, improper adjustment I suspect.

From the owners documentation most upgrades were done by a respectable shop, so I'm wondering if he did something himself and missed something.

 

yep i would look to the transmission mount, you can not tell if its busted by just looking at it. you will need to lift on the transmission a bit to see or better would be to hold the trans up and take the mount crossbar lose and see if it falls off with half the mount.

 

It is the torque arm, I can move the front around by hand, is there supposed to be a rubber grommet/fitting on the front end?

 

Found a replacement bushing ��������
