The Silverado has a new crate engine installed, with 13,000 miles. There is a vibration that starts when it is in overdrive, and it feels like it bogs the engine down. I checked the U-joints, tires are balanced, and no weights have come off of the driveshaft. When I was checking everything, it looked like the piece that goes onto the output shaft has play in it. The transmission has 74,500 miles on it, and it is a 700-R4Could that play in the back of the transmission be the cause of the vibration? If so, what would need to be fixed?

Just figured out that the vibration is cause from a bad bushing on the tail housing.

Now, the question is how hard will it be to replace the bearing and bushing in the tailhousing?
