Thread: Vibration at 2200-2800rpm

Tweet

Ok i have a new vibration at about 2200-2800. I am thinking the drive shaft isnt true anymore. Although when i was installing the pilot bushing it needed a lot of "help". But if the snout of the tranny was binding then that would vibrate all the time right?

So you guys think drive shaft too?

is that 2800 rpm's hi gear 60 mph or low gear 20 mph. most of the time mph tell you more about a driveshaft vibration than rpm's. do you have the vibration when you're sitting still at 2800 rpm's? if the input shaft was binding it probably would be jumping out of gear. what kind if car is it? i really need to know when you feel it the most.

The pilot bearing/input shaft are always a PITA to line up but have never caused me any strange vibrations. The only symptoms of a messed up pilot bearing I can think of are a difficulting getting into gear or an odd noise.

Its probably a u-joint.
