April 22, 20206 yr #1 Quick question fellows, car vibrates and shudders in low acceleration even while the car is idle and in P if accelerates. I know about the tail shaft balancing thing but as far as I know tail shaft vibration happens when the car not stationary anyone have any idea
April 22, 20206 yr #2 well, the tailshaft won't wobble/vibrate if the car isn't moving, unless you've got weird diff mechanical issues. it's likely either the engine is imbalanced (not likely) or the engine mount(s) have failed.
April 22, 20206 yr #3 Author Do you reckon it’s the torque converter and flex plate ? I replaced the tranny and I think I messed up a lil with the flex plate and can feel some clunk noise in torque converter too probably flex plate is a lil bent? It’s like a truck noise shifting down gears
April 22, 20206 yr #5 Author I probably Have to replace both 😔 what’s the torque settings on flex plate bolts if you know
April 24, 20206 yr #7 Author Ok so flex plate looks ok no bent in it nothing wrong, probably the torque converter is playing up a lil or it could be the Engine mounts anyone know how to change the engine mounts? It’s N/A not turbo thanks
April 24, 20206 yr #8 no surprise the flex plate is OK on an N/A... haha turbo usually causes 'em to crack etc. engine mounts you jack up the engine separate to the jacked up car and unbolt/bolt the new ones into place. not a simple job without the right jacking equipment.
April 24, 20206 yr #9 Author Lol yeah heard of flex plate cracking in Turbo any tips to do mounts I have got the proper jacks etc
