G Forces will fall steadily throughout the run from beginning to end. The "choppiness" could be many things but doubt it is anything major. Could be the way the recorded is mounted could be how it is mounted to could be tracks a tad rough. By the looks of it its choppy the entire run..Wouldn't read a lot into that. Plenty to fix with the dead hook and converter for now Id say.

FWIW here is a more typical data log of a G Meter, also shows driveshaft and engine rpm

Al, shifts are 7500 on the 1/2 and 7300 on the 2/3. Flash 6300? So i have about a drop of 1200 low to second, 1000 2nd to 3rd. I will have to see if the G meter can vibrate , causing the rough graph.
