pusherman Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 hi chaps, recently got my escort out on the road and am having a harmonicy sort of virbration at exactly 3000 rpm is a good vibrate thru the whole car sort of thing but seems to go as soon as im under or above 3000. ive put in a blue printed 1600, sierra 5 speed, and had a hilman/escort drive shaft made. any ideas?

eskie77 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 balanced driveshaft ? and is your universals ok on the drivshafts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 diveshaft vibration will generally be linked to roadspeed . clutch assembly could be unbalanced that or the flywheel . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-W-G Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Try a one piece drive shaft from the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 im doubting fly wheel as it was sweet with 4 speed up it its a brand spanker clutch whats the chance of it being out? could running out of tune do it? it not speed related as itf i go into 4th stil at same or close to speed it goes instantly. after driving again it seems to build at 2700 to full shakes at 3grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 what was the last thing you did before you noticed vibration? I assume you fit the 5 speed at the same time as the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 check clearances around everything as 5 speeds are reasonably tight in the tunnel, and check all the bolts are done up right would be my first things to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eke_zetec_RWD Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 does it do it when stationary and revving it? or only when driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
