I put a new Dedenbear trans case in the car and the problems was still there. By this time the rear tires needed replacing and bingo the problem went away. Smooth as glass with the new tires. Before this problem started the car had sat in the garage for two months while freshing the engine. I had neglected to put the car up on jack stands and I guess the rear tires got flat spots. Won't make that mistake again.
Yeah, that's the reason the tires where changed before we made any runs at Denver. Thanks, Darrin.
