aiiiiii.......@Jaribu: you have set your own exam and really to answer it -though incorrectly. Pls note that @sacha's problem is vibration when the car is on halt! pls respond to that! This has nothing to do with brakes,bushi,bla bla bla. Other suspension problems and poor oiling,ATF as you indicate can easily be evident if the car is in motion esp on uneven road surface....

Meanwhile,@sasha,you dont to pay a mechanic to have the engine fluids checked. Next time you go to a fuelling station,just open the bonnet and tell the attendant 'niangalilie uko mbele'...then go see what he/she does. They will tell you if there is a problem or if the fluids need topping



Life is worth living cos God planned it to be so.

@Jaribu - clearly reading and understanding is not your strong point - no offence. @Sasha - if it was manual I could tell you 2-4 things that could be wrong....having said that,the innards of a gearbox are essentially the same....I think you should have your gearbox opened up - in a manual,that vibration - the correct word is JUDDER - has to do with worn release bearing (which in turn causes both the pressure plate and clutch plate to wear). I know about 0.5% abt automatic cars,but I gather they have equivalents of pressure/clutch plates...thus when you depress the brakes,the drive shafts act to STOP the differential (thus the primary gear in the gearbox - so its at THAT POINT something is wrong - in a manual,THAT POINT is the flywheel. pressure plate,clutch plate and release bearing....so whatever their equivalents are...should be the problem. A good example...if you are driving a manual and gear down to number 1....then press the brakes BUT NOT the clutch...the car will judder then sputter out and die.




Those who said worn mountings....hmmmm! That is so off the mark - esp for a stationery vehicle. Jaribu takes the medal for trying - brakes! my eye!

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

funny the length some guys will go to impress a chix.

gud aftn.



wHo.. DaRes.. wIns!

...@Sasha;

...If u have a worldspace radio you can listen to CAR TALK on NPR radio. The hosts always get such kinds of questions and of course answer them with a lot of humour...like they would ask you 'when it vibrates do you feel nice...?

...and by the way,with so many vehicles - both new and junks-,and Kenyans love for junks - why is there no program,both on radio and TV discussing vehicles? mmmmmmmhhhhh...this could be my opportunity to get on radio and become a 'celebrity'

@Sasha,as MuchKnow suggested,if you can get someone to check the transmission fluid that might be a good indicator - if they can drain it completely and if some debris is present...then you know the gearbox needs to be opened up.
