[QUOTE="Blk03SVTCobra, post: 1421660, member: 10866"] Just a little update on my situation... Got off the phone with J.D. at Sheehy Ford. My car's finally ready!! I asked him to do the following work: 1) TSB 04-1-34 (TOB, Retainer Sleeve, etc) 2) Check driveshaft for the infamous 80+ MPH vibe 3) Take off wheel weights on outside of wheels and replace with inside wheel weights The results of the TSB repair were that I got a new clutch (due to premature wear), TOB and retainer sleeve. The driveshaft was determined to be fine, but they "rebalanced" it anyways. As for the wheel weights, and this is the kicker..... He said that two of the tires on the car right now could not be made to balance properly with the inside wheel weights (they were taking more than 6oz of weight), so he couldn't balance them with the inside ones, only the outside ones. He said that I would need to get new tires to balance them properly with the 6oz weights. Does anyone know anything about tire/wheel balancing?? Is this service guy not being honest, or is he? I would rather avoid spending $500 to buy the new tires, mount them and balance them.... I would really appreciate any help you all could lend on this one... Other than that, I'll let you guys know if I hear any squealing or notice a difference in ease of shifting when I get her back today after work. [/QUOTE]
