is the T5 brand new? old? reconditioned? how many miles has it done?

coachworz

its 2wd sapp 88 model.. stock engine . history unknown as i just got the car.

coachworz

its not recon.. think its the orignal condition.

probably needs a rebuild then -

coachworz

where can i buy rebuild kit? since i am rebuilding it.. any stronger kit i can get hold of without too high a cost?

I had the same vibration on my 2wd i also used the group n gearbox mount, I replaced it with a new standard item and all was fine. The group n is so solid and has hardly any flex compaired to the standard one.

so its due to the mount..

my car has just developed the same problem,only since i fitted a quickshift,mine is a 1990 2wd which is pretty standard,it vibrates and grinds,the only thing i think it could be is that the propshaft isnt lined up correctly.im going to get it in the air and check it this week!

coachworz

didn't know prop shaft needs to be align...

had to undo the propshaft bearing carrier to let the box drop enough to get access to the shifter,its the only thing i have done that could be causing the noise(hope so anyway)!
