I have a '75 1.8 and lately it has felt like there is more slop in the driveline than there used to be. If I let off the gas in 1st or 2nd I can feel the whole car sort of lunge/jerk, same thing happens if I get on the gas. It gets much less noticeable in higher gears. Is this a common issue? What should I check first?
My first suspicion was failing cv joints. I reached under the car earlier and tried rocking the passenger side axle back and forth, but I didn't feel any play. Andrew |

Jack up on the bottom of the engine. If the engine lifts up without taking the weight off the wheels, the motor mounts have separated.
In my car, very heavy 1st and some 2nd gear acceleration would produce a repeated thump through the car--"WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP"--and the gear shift lever would move around quite a bit under heavy braking. --DD |
