Default Harmonic/engine vibration

Just finished wrestling with that problem. Call to Frank suggested I install 2 washers under the trans. mount. When we got the car on the lift, sure enough the drive shaft was out of line, not only vertically but even worse ,hoizontally. Installed the washers as suggested, then pulled the rear trans. mount and re-aligned it ( it was out 3/8th of an inch) by re-drilling the mount holes. This has put added stress on the engine mounts which I have not addressed yet. What aggrevates me about this problem and a dozen other issues I've had with this car is not the fact that they are more than willing to advise you on correcting it, but that it was so poorly put togeather in the first place, and as owners we are expected to find and correct the gremlins.
