I sometimes get a driveline shudder in my M35 - usually happens after going over a speed hump and gently accelerating out. If i back off the throttle its fine afterwards.

I sometimes had the exact same thing in my C34... I was never able to work out what it was.

I don't get it in the Stagea, but the work Falcon wagons do it bad.

I have a feeling might be a auto tranny thing. Check levels and colour of ATF, maybe a fluid flush is in order? Don't know other than that!

Sorry to hijack thread a little.

Speaking of shudders. When I accelerate a little a get a wobble in the front sometimes under light acceleration, like a left right left right left... Motion. Very small but if I back off it goes away same as if I pit cut down. Is this bad? Lol.

Also get a shunt when changing gearbox. Like from park to drive I get the shunt of it going into drive (normal) and start to move then another shunt after that which kinda jerks the car back and forward.

Weird feeling. Obviously it's something to do with awd but coming from old corollas I kinda lost. Is it just the front diff taking he slack? Or is it something I should get checked?

Thanks all

I also get the shunt when going from park. Seems more noticeable with front wheels turned. I'm pretty sure others have it too.

check its not in snow mode.. the switch is easily pressed. as its right near your hand.

mine doesnt shudder on take off at all. only going into gear slightly.

but it does that when ive accidently hit the switch and its gone into snow mode.

however do notice a vibration around the 90-100 mark but thats most likely wheel alignment/ balancing

Have slight vibration 100kmh and up, still there at considerably faster, doesn't go away at higher speeds as some do. You can't feel it through the steering wheel. In fact only really notice it if travelling on my own as it makes the front passenger seat shake. You can look across and see it shake and feel it in the seat base.

Had wheel alignment and got wheel balance redone - 2 wheels were out even though no weights had come off, this didn't fix the problem. Up on hoist and checked, nothing obvious.

Guess as you can't feel it in the steering wheel means it is coming from rear or the driveline as well? Could it be some play in HICAS?

Related to this - had one corner of the plastic sump guard break away on a recent trip and that rattled a fair bit driving and sat back like it wasn't broken when I stopped to check - duct tape to the rescue!

mines virtually the same from 100.. it started when i had the front suspension taken apart to be checked to find warn busher pins on the control arm, then they put it back together..thats when it appeared.

check your wheel diameters :P (oh i just read you have new wheels :(.. kindof makes my post silly... but still.. someone else may get help from this)

attessa hates you if the fronts have more rolling diameter than the backs.. :thumbsup:

(i.e. it thinks its getting wheelspin, and engages the fronts intermittently = shudder)

I found this out after pulling my hair out for ages about things like airflow meter and spark plugs, oxygen sensor etc etc (they are other things it could be too)

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
