Strange vibrations
I seem to have developed a strange vibration and don't know why. Every part of front end has less than 1K miles, engine rebuilt, new ujoints, new tires-balanced, and a fresh alignment.
The vibes don't seem to come at any one specific RPM or speed. If I depress the clutch the vibes stop. BUT if I bring the RPM's to what it was the vibes do not return. When I let the clutch back out the vibes start again. That's the part I don't understand, it doesn't seem to make sense.
It would seem that the drive train must be at fault somehow, only when the engine is under load.
Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Strange vibrations (MK82)
How bad is the vibration, recently I think I have developed a small vibration I can notice in
3rd gear. It is so slight that anyone in the car cannot notice but I feel it. Must be coming from
drivetrain and I have new suspension etc. except the u-joints weren't changed but they were
OK.
Could be coming from tranny ?
Keep us posted what you find.
