High RPM vibration all gears
I first noticed it in third, but am now feeling it in 1st and 2nd. Maybe I didn't notice it before or it is getting worse.
I get a strong vibration which comes on at 6500 RPM or so and keeps getting stronger the more I keep my foot in it. I am certain it is from the drive train somewhere. I feel it in the shifter mostly. Is my trans or clutch gonna puke on me soon? The car has 50,000 miles. I'm taking ideas. |

Re: High RPM vibration all gears
When I first got my car I noticed drivetrain vibration @ RPM, and I noticed that when I really got on it I could see the shifter height modulate by close to an inch.
Turned out that the transmission mount bolts were simply loose and this is a common situation. Hope that is your case as it is a cheap fix

Re: High RPM vibration all gears
I agree, tighten everything up, but don't overtighten.

Re: High RPM vibration all gears
Well Rick and I sorted most of the problem out, but maybe not the underlying cause.
I had the shifter knob incorrectly installed so we fixed that and most of the audible noise is gone. I still have a cracked plastic piece where the allen screw seats into the shifter which is making noise but not much. And, there is still a pretty strong vibration coming through the shifter at high rpm. It is doing it whether I am in gear or not. We did make a dent into this project today though.

Re: High RPM vibration all gears
Hey Ryan! If your home today I can come by and check it out after work. I suspect Cbeam bolts are loose. Mine did the same thing when mine were loose except for the vibration. I would suggest getting a set of Bill B's beam plates on order.

Re: High RPM vibration all gears
But is it more quiet than when everything was loose?

Re: High RPM vibration all gears
If you disengage your clutch and you still have the vibration then it could be your duel mass like was mentioned. Because it rotates even when your disengaged. I don't hear much about duel mass flywheels going bad especially on a low mile car like yours. Unless some crank bolts have backed out.
