I have a severe vibration during hard acceleration and when i am at idle and also when i am cruisin at 50 or more ... Could a Balencer go bad this soon , the car has been sitting i found out .. Trans was just rebuilt and that is when it started but i had them check it and they suggested it may be the Balencer

It is a pulsing vibration at speeds and a steady one at idle but in nuetral it goes away .. They just checked the converter today and said they unhooked it and the vibration was still there if they told me the truth ..

Check out harmonic balancer see if its running true. you need to remove the pullies to get a look at the weights and to see if it came unseated from rubber isolation ring.
