Te72 Shifter Shaking

Postby bombapinoy » Sun Oct 20, 2013 10:22 pm

My shifter shakes like crazy when i maintain speed in gear usually 3-5. I'm guessing thats the transmission mount thats the cause however I am open to more suggestions. Any idea guys? Also if it is the mount will the ae86 tranny mount work? Its for a TE72 and same t50 tranny. Thanks guys!

I would be surprised if the shifter shaking at constant speed is caused by bad
engine or transmission mounts. Twisting of the engine and transmission is more
likely to be caused by uneven power impulses from the engine. Maybe you have
one cylinder down on power from a blocked injector, bad spark lead, burned or
leaking valve etc ?? You could start by pulling the spark plug leads off the engine
while it is idling... see if there is one lead that makes next to no difference to
the way the engine runs. If so, that cylinder is not working properly.
