The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

This discussion was on time to assist and enlightened many

i followed up the discussion and upon opening my 'saple',found so many small metalic particles including a piece of magnet. upon enquring,my mechanic said the magnet was meant to capture metal particles that may come with ATF - a sweet lie which i accepted. afew days ago,i did open again and found more particles? To the experts,what trouble/s should i prepare myself for.

transmission is okay and have not noticed any problem

Had the car checked yesterday and this was the result:



The crossmember had an 'injury' causing the gear box console to rest on it. The mechanic was of the opinion that this is what was causing the vibration. The crossmember was straightened but this only reduced the vibration and did not stop it.
The mechanic checked the tokbox and was of the opinion that nothing was amiss. However,the way he answered when I asked him whether the converter is unlocking when brakes are applied left a lot to be desired. I will have a different guy check it out in the course of the week.
Lemmie assure all (esp. extrablessed), the engine mountings are very ok! I actually don't need to replace them anytime soon!

Misfiring ignition coil? We replaced it,and even with a new one,it was still vibrating.
Cylinder head and gasket problems? Nothing! Everything is okay in that area.


Still haven't lost hope. If the vibration can be reduced,it can be eliminated all together. I will let you know when the problem is sorted!

...if the member is injured,then you just have to give it sometime to heal and it will function normally. It must be a difficult time when it is just lying idle with no work to do...

@Sasha,

Surely,your car/the problem cannot be that complicated. After all this advise/diagnosis and reference you must have been sorted out by now. Does anyone else experience the vibration ama it's only you....do your passengers feel that vibra??

Maybe the car has no vibration anyway.

@Sasha - one more suggestion on diagnosis - if you can take the car where it can be jacked up and put on four wheel stands. Then simulate the problem when the weight of the car is off the wheels - that should rule out any issue with drivetrain/transmission and point you in another direction. If the car can be elevated with a hyraulic lift - then simulate the problem and have someone poke around underneath to see what might be loose or the source of vibration....bonne chance!

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

sasha..dont you think you know toooooooo much..or you have something about cars..if you were my wife....ehhh...you come home with a receipt of adjusted fuel temperature sensor..then you start telling me how stupid you thought the mechanic was since he could get past the manfold ya EFI but you volunteered and showed him an easier path through the timing belt!!!!....i swear honey..i would sleep on the couch!!!!!!

i love your smile....

Ever had a bath so hot,that as you lower urself in 'Oo! Oo! Oo! Aa! Aa! Aa..ahhh…ohhh yeahh eehhh yeahh!'.

@mlefu: LOL! I love cars and their grease! Don't worry, I would be sensitive to your feelings!

@Djinn: If what I'm working on now does not work I will do that! Thanks.

@kafein: Who said anything about engine mountings? The GB mountings are okay!
