yeah, there are so many things it could be... just go back and double check EVERYTHING! your axles, your intermediate shaft bracktet, ball joints, anything that you touched during the swap, if that's not it, go get your tires balanced and an alignment, if that's not it, swap out your axles, if that's not it, sell your car, if that's not it, oh, wait nevermind.......

Well, I have an appt tommorrow with the dealer that did the tie rods and alignment, they are going to check over their work and see if they fucked up.

I always have the worst luck...

i hear ya man, me too :P

Ok, well I just got my car back from the dealer, all they did was balance the four wheels, they did it for free nevertheless. But the problem is still there!!!

I took it out on the highway and if shakes between 70-105 km/h, it doesn't matter what gear, 3rd, 4th or 5th but it does shake more at a higher throttle in a higher gear but only in that speed range. At about 110 it is perfectly smooth again, and I only took it up to ~200 km/h and it was perfectly smooth. What the hell could cause this, I'm gettng really confused.

-Engine works fine throughout rpm range
-axles look fine, spin properly, no CV noise
-steering is normal
-wheels are aligned and balanced by the dealer, and I watched
-transmission shifts fine, even when shaking
-clutch has normal feel and doesn't slip

What the hell could it be?!?!? I'm running out of parts to diagnose.

does your shifter look like it shakes with the car? if so, it is more than likely something to do with your axles/intermediate shaft. does it shake even when you're going real slow, it just feels like the car is wobbling back and forth real slow??

BigJ

Yeah the shifter shakes, but the whole front end shakes. It could be the intemediate shaft but why only for the small 35km window. I don't consider 75km to be slow, do you?

Hey at least it runs. It took me 2 years to get my car running.

It definately sounds like a suspension problem and not a drivetrain problem. When it start shaking, does the car jerk to one side or another?

hrrrrrrmmmmmmmm....... i don't know, every shake that i've had related to suspension, the shifter doesn't seem to shake, every shake that i've had related to axles, spindles, tranny, the shifter seems to shake with the car, this is just from my experience though

did you get any oil on the clutch? is it nerw and is the pressure plate resurfaced? how is your clutch system? is it blead/tightened correctly?
