Hi,
I hope someone out there can help me?
I have had a problem with transmission vibration on my 200Tdi.
I initially thought it was propshaft uj's and set to replacing one propshaft and reconditioning the other. I then turned my attention to wheel bearings and replaced then all in the end. I've tried changing tyres but still no use and eventually I changed the transfer box and clutch (with advice from a Land Rover mechanic) but i still have the damn problem. The symptoms go like this:
When moving off there is a bit of clutch judder which dissapears when power is increased. As the car accelerates through the gears there are differing degrees of vibration and noise not normally there on a disco. But once in 5th as soon as the car gets to 50-55mph the vibration and noise is at its worst. It is more noticable when the transmission is under strain ie up hill. The noise/ vibration persists until the car reaches approx 60-65 mph and then it becomes significantly quieter at 70mph it is reasonably quiet. Sometimes it gets so loud it drowns out the stereo.
I have run the gearbox up through the gears with transfer box in neutral and it is particularly quiet.
I have had this problem for the past 25,000 miles and it has gradually become worse, increasingly so since the new transfer box last week.
I initially thought it was a speed related thing but now i'm not so sure. Has anyone else experienced this? if so what was it and put me out of my misery!
PLEEEEZE!
