Shimmy shake....tranny related??
I have read in some posts on yahoo and can't remember for sure...but I though in here also about a shaking a certain speeds.
My SVX did the same thing...between 52-56 mph the car woudl have a shake to it, it felt like it was in the rear, but no 100% sure. Anyways, after today driving my SVX with the 10 min old transmission it it...I hit the interstate to head home quick to pick up my face plate for my stereo. Well getting it up to speed....absolutely no shudder or shake to be felt. I drove it for approx another 15-20 min before I took it back to figure out why my AC doesn't work anymore....but no shakes once so ever. Nothing was done to the car, wheel balance, hub replacement, brakes, nothing. So I guess I have to assume the transmission was doing something funny. Anyone have a better explanation, as I remember in the posts before no one had seen a solution for this occurance. Oh well....works now...I guess I will just knock on wood! Ryan |

Ryan, those posts were probably from me. Before my tranny went out and I discovered it was a legacy trans, I got a shudder between 25 and 45 mph. I discovered that it was the transfer clutches trying to line up (or whatever). Yes, after I had the trans rebuilt, the shudder went away.

It appears I spoke to soon. I went for a 300 mile trip today in it...and noticed that it was back! Well it's not quite as bad as it was before...but still noticable.
Oh well, Ryan |

ryan.....
have your tranny mount, sub-frame mounts, and engine mounts checked. beyond that i would check your wheel balance or brakes. or you getting the shudder under acceleration and immediate decceleration?

Yeah I'm debating unbalanced wheels. I'm guess the tranny mounts would have been checked...considering it just got replaced yesterday. Engine mounts...I doubt it...not a particular rev band. It only happens between (now anyways was worse) 51-55 mph. It suttle now...but you notice it...especially if you have to cruise at that speed for a while, ie, on the highway today.
