5TH GEAR VIBRATION?????? 97 COBRA

ffcobra · 07-04-2005, 12:39 AM

I noticed today coming home from work i get a 5 gear vibration but, only sometimes. If i take it out of 5 it goes away and if i push the clutch in and rev on it it goes away. I'm stumped. It comes and goes when it wants mainly accelerating around 60 and if i let off the gas. Its not like a real bad shaking but it is definalty noticable anyone have any clues.Thanks in advance.travis

Get an aluminum driveshaft and or check your motor and tranny mounts! :jeff:

yeah, I would swap out my driveshaft as well. Did you get the gears recently? Lots of times you need to do a driveshaft swap along with the gears or you end up getting some crazy vibrations.

Thats what I was thinking but with all those mods he has I figure he already has one.
