Hi,

Does anybody know of possible drivetrain issues which can cause vibration at low (5-10mph) or high speed (40+mph)
I have recently replaced the front driveshaft coupling, to try to remove a light clunking sound heard sometimes when shifting down at low speeds. This mostly remedied it, but it still seems as if something is still not quite right.......

A tricky problem which is hard to illustrate to a mechanic.
ANY ideas or notions RE this would be really cool.


?

Could be the engine mounts.

 

In addition to zeronero's comment, check the gear box mounts carefully. If they are worn (which is a certain weak point in the manual shift W124) the alignment is distorted and causes noises and resonances in the drive shaft.

 

Thanks a lot guys,

I will check these out....

do you know if it is expensive to replace these mounts (labour intensive?). And does it require specialist attention.


thanks again

Jon.
