Vibration

hey guys i had my wagon for over a year now and ever since i have had it. as the converter locks up if you aint on very light throttle you get a vibration like running over the ripple strip wake up lines on edge of the road but twice as loud......am considering rebuilding tail shaft with new center bearings and uni's and am hoping this will fix it even though i can see no wear in the old ones while it is still in the car....any idea's???

not sure what the problem is, i have a similar issue, i get a vibration at high rpm, from bout 3,000rpm onwards, not really noisy though, or i can't notice the sound, at 1st i thought it was my extractors cause they're contacting my gearbox

yours could be a warped flywheel or clutch/pressure plate

**rob drag racer** · 09-09-2009, 08:53 PM

are all your engine and gearbox mounts ok ?

**LordMayhem** · 09-09-2009, 10:01 PM

as far as i know but i will check them in the morning

ok well after an indepth inspection it appears that the gearbox is not bolted to the mount at all. so i guess this hopefully is the cause of the vibration. now i just got to remove it all and hope that the reason it is not bolted in is they haven't snapped the bolts off.

hahaa thats roadworthy :S

**LordMayhem** · 11-09-2009, 07:12 AM

you're telling me. guess considering it was lower 4 inches on cut coils when i bought it last year i shouldn't be suprised hahaha

lol good luck

**LordMayhem** · 13-09-2009, 02:58 PM

well got the gearbox mount all bolted up now (idiots just didn't bother doing it) so i guess it's down to the tail shaft and uni's....only problem now is said idiots have round the bolts for the tail shaft so now i got to cut them off to get it out.....ugh some people i tell ya!

**rob drag racer** · 13-09-2009, 04:09 PM

are ya sure its not a faulty coil mine did that but only when i hit overdrive

**LordMayhem** · 13-09-2009, 05:59 PM

how would the coil make it vibrate as the converter locks up? as it only does it if you are not on very light throttle?

**rob drag racer** · 13-09-2009, 07:02 PM

fair enough i was just adding some things that may be an issue that ive had smiler symptoms with in the past

**LordMayhem** · 13-09-2009, 07:29 PM

no worries if i get the tailshaft done soon and it still don't fix it then i will sus out the coil pack

**HSV472** · 13-09-2009, 07:52 PM
