CROSSFIRE SRT6 POWERTRAIN VIBRATIONS

I drive a 2005 Crossfire SRT6 with 170,000 miles.

With light accelleration, I get a driveline "studder" at 30-40 mph and again at 70-80 mph--almost feels like I'm going over a bumpy road surface. This studder is also accompanied by alternately a whine and also a deep rumble sound......if I accel hard--not as noticable......... any ideas out there on what's causing this?

I would take a very close look at the drive shaft and u-joints. Does D-B use a Guibo Joint? If so, it could be coming apart...

Keep us posted, please.

Crossfire questions are more appropriate in R170 forum

You are correct from the standpoint that the Crossfire is on the R170 platform. However, the driveline symptoms noted by the OP don't seem model or make specific, if I understood his post...

SRT-6
The Crossfire with the AMG drive train was a very limited run and who has more experience about the combination than you guys. That is if your willing to share, which I've happily found that many are. But not all. And by the way, we have several members with SLK's on the Crossfire forums. Nice guys.
