We have investigated the (89)Y NMR spectrum and spin lattice relaxation, T(1), in the magnetically frustrated pyrochlore Y(2)Mo(2)O(7). We find that upon cooling the spectrum shifts, and broadens asymmetrically. A detailed examination of the low T spectrum reveals that it is constructed from multiple peaks, each shifted by a different amount. We argue that this spectrum is due to discrete lattice distortions and speculate that these distortions relieve the frustration and reduce the system's energy.
