I would have thought if the balancer was wobbling it would be making a racket, no?

Just thought id add im running a t5 to ecotec

Did it come with a manual from the factory or was it a conversion? Did you fit the correct spigot bush when you changed the engine?

since when does an auto have a spigot bush ? the converter is mounted directly to the flexplate. Only manuals have an input shaft that slides into a spigot bush.

It could be a flywheel issue, unless the correct ecotec flywheel was used or the flywheel/clutch assembly was mirror balanced to the original flex plate it may very well all be out of balance.

If the 3rd replacement engine was from an auto than you will need to fit the manual spigot bush into the crank otherwise the input shaft will be floating around and causing issues. I'd recommend not driving it until you check/get that sorted first.
