ive been geting vibrations through the drivline of my stag for a while now. mostly in second and third gear, but when i get off the gas and then get back on it disapears. i was thinking engine / gearbox mounts but now its becoming more frequent im thinkn uni joints. can anyone hook us up with a part no, and price? (rs4 s)

another reason im thinkn uni joints is that i get a slight vibration at over 110.

i got under the car the other day and tried to feel how much slack the talishaft had but i dont no how much is normal.

what yas think?

tyres are good and just been balanced and aligned.

when i come into a roundabout and use second to slow down and then go to acelerate out at 30 40kmh it can shake quite badly even being realy light footed. so theres defenately a drivline issue.

your uni's should have really any play or movement in them, check your oil levels in all your driveline componants, i had the same issues a while ago, try changing you box and transfer case oils, mine went away after doing a massive fluid change a few months back,

i just had a jim berry clutch put in and had the flywheel machined. while he was there i had him put in top brand gear oil and transfer case fluid. thats why im not thinking its the box anymore.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
