I have had the car (1UZ and A341E in a Holden VL Calais) on the road for about 3 months now and have had a vibration from day 1 when taking off from a stop. It ony happens from 1500rpm to about 2000rpm and then goes away. It will happen with anything greater than about 15% throttle, any gear (tried 1,2,3 - manual control). Under WOT there is also a vibration all the way to redline but is only very minor.
Now the problem is the guy that shortened and balanced the tailshaft says it is the suspension (worn upper trailling arm bushes), the suspension place says its the tailshaft (all the bushes have been replaced with polyurathane) and a friend who builds gearbox's reckons its the center bearing on the tail shaft (this and the CV joint was replaced when the tail shaft was done).
The known problems are the diff is stuffed and I am waiting for parts to fix it and the rear Uni Joint has a little play in it. The thing is the diff and uni-joint were stuffed before the 1UZ conversion and there were no vibrations.
Has anyone on here experienced a similar thing or can maybe sugest something to check?? Also I will replace the front Uni-Joint (Crown slip yoke) while the diff is getting repaired so does anyone know what size the uni-joint is??
Thanx
