Hi guys,
Got a 2002 mustang that has the engine seized and i bought the car which was sitting for a few years. I got an engine from a scarp yard and swapped the engine.
The car is a manual tranny and the engine i got was from a automatic tranny. So i installed a pilot bearing, reused the clutch and flywheel which were in good shape..the clutch was done a few months before he parked it due to engine issues.
So anyhow I have specific rpm vibrations, which are severe when i am in reverse. The vibrations are only at 900 to 1200 rpm where the clutch is released or not, in gear or not and in any gear. Also at that rpm range in neutral and not moving. I have ruled out tranny issues in this regard.
There is also a rattle or a knock sound that this rpm range. If needed i can take a video clip but i am not sure if the sounds will come out.
My background: I am a 2nd yr truck and coach apprentice so I am knowledgeable in the trade to some level.
I could really use help and so far I am thinking its the flywheel. Its not consistent with a misfire either. I have replaced the spark plugs with oem ford plugs a few days ago and made no difference.
Thanks guys.
