Hi im looking for some help.

After many issues and gradually working through all the niggles, its going for its MOT on wednesday. The only problem i seem to have left is a vibration/judder in 1st and 2nd gear when pulling away. Its got a 6 paddle clutch in it, and I obviously expect this to cause a little judder when pulling away and it does when letting out the clutch, but once the clutch is fully engaged, Im getting a vibration/judder throught the transmission tunnel and the gear lever vibrates also. Initially I thought it maybe the prop being out of balance as this is what it feels like. But the centre carrier looks ok.

My mates got a 3dr and his does a similar thing, and says it just because im used to driving new cars and not a 22 year old scrapper

Any ideas??

 

mine also does this mate dont know why tho! hope all goes well on MOT

 

I think your just copying me now

 

i would drop the prop off the rear diff and the centre bearing carrier off and check for any tight spots or play in the prop UJ's.
Just dont yank the prop out of the back of the box as you will lose you oil.
if its 4x4 it could be something on the front half too but i dont know much about 4x4s

 

The geartick shakes/vibrates a lot and my first thoughts were the prop. I will have a look. I cant remember it being stiff when i fitted it. Is there any way the prop can be misaligned as i noticed there is slight adjustment in the centre carrier position?

 

You could have play in the center bearing these are common fault on early transits and normally do a similar problem you are having.
