hey all, ive got a manual, 1989 TT z32, and everytime i put my foot down and it gets to about 4000rpm i get this shudder feeling coming from what feels like behind the drivers seat (coming from the cargo bay), it cant be the drive shaft because it was balanced etc not long ago, the gearbox was just replaced to, i have an exeddy 5puck brass button racing clutch, so that leaves just the diff i think?? any idea what else it could be? has anyone had this problem before? cheers Andrew
I hate to state the obvious but have you had the rear wheels balanced sometimes they lose a wheel weight which could present symptoms as you described. Do you have spacers fitted to the rear wheels because they can cause problems if they are of the non centric hub type ?
no have not had the wheels balanced yet goes in on wednesday to have that done, :embarrassed: , so i guess ill see then if that was the problem hope it is :thumbsup:, as for the spacers no have not had any fitted cheers Andrew
Probably centre bearing If it only happens when accelerating then its the centre bearing. If it happens all the time then could be wheels out of balance.
andrew .. just in case it proves to be your centre bearing ... get onto search .. "one piece tail shafts" .. "centre bearings" .. heaps of history on this one ..!!
centre bearing ok well thanx for the options guys ill have a look into the centre bearing after i get the wheels balanced, whats the best way to test if its my centre bearing? cheers Andrew
Re: centre bearing Hey andrew, You driving your zed to uni yet?? When i got my zed the centre bearing went on mine...but i didn't know you could just replace it...so i got my driveshaft changed to a single piece and it is really good...felt like i was driving a new car ...let me know how you go.. where are you getting your wheels balanced?
andrew, that shudder feeling, im willing to bed is axle tramp loss of traction.. does it happen in every gear at 4000rpm? or just 1st and maybe 2nd?
hey renee, yer i will def be looking at getting a one piece drive shaft later on, when i have some money:thumbsdown:, im getting the wheels balanced in bundoora as my car is down there getting some minor problems fixed, hopefully it should be up in bendigo next friday!!!!!!! :thumbsup: mafi-zed: well it happens in first, second and third. everytime i get into the high rpms. not sure if it happens in 4th i will have to test that out next week!! cheers Andrew
