Issue just started last night. Just starting out in first gear while slipping the clutch. Once clutch engages at lower RPMs it felt like I was rolling over speed bumps. At faster speeds it seemed fine. Now it is starting to happen more frequent but only at lower RPMs. I have not had a chance to diagnose yet. Anything in particular come to mind?
Thanks Rob |

Thanks everyone for the replies! When I did my initial visual inspection, the only odd thing I found, was what I had posted. I have not had a chance to crawl back under and check the motor mounts but I did order a couple along with the new sway bar bushings.
Did not find anything odd with the CV joints, tires or lug nuts. Thanks for confirming that it is not an internal transaxle issue!! |

Did not find anything odd with the CV joints, tires or lug nuts. Did you check them with the car jacked up? If the CVs are in a bind from being fully extended while the wheels are off the ground, you might not be able to tell as easily if they are loose. Retorque them while you are under there either way. Clean out the fastener holes BEFORE trying to retorque or you stand a good chance of stripping them (the heads fill up with grime). |
