u-joints?
i know this is fte but i have a pre-ford mazda question. i have a 91 maz b2600i that has been lowered 3 inches in front via torsion bars and 3 inches in rear via steel lowering blocks. its been like this for 4 years now. i recently changed the tranny filter and gasket (my 1st time ever) well now the truck gets a nasty vibration every once in a while. very violent shakes everything to hell. seems like a driveline vibe. any ideas? the u-joints have never been changed and i know the tranny mount is shot to. i will prolly change the u-joints and mount neways. but i still wonder if that will cure it

Changing the fluid should have had no affect,but anythings possible.Wheres the vibration? (seat,steering wheel) When does it happen?(high/low speed,accelerating,etc.).Tranny mount will do do it for sure.

it does go away after doing exactly that. i needed i think it was dexron 2 and i used a (universal type) the label said it will work for my application. im not positive it was dexron 2 but i do know i had a hell of a time finding something even close.
