strange vibrating noise

brent001 · 08-09-2007, 04:44 AM

whenever i change gears and not accelerate straight after i can feel and hear a slight vibrating/ grinding noise. i have a basically standard pulsar sss n15. only mods are pod filter, heavy duty king springs in the front and cannon exhaust tip. i have no idea what it is and any help would be appreciated.

Vibrating and grinding are to different to tie much together! please be more desciptive! whats vibrating, what gear how long into driving? everygear? all the time/part time?

Thanks!

about a few minitues into driving it starts. its more of a vibrating noise. it only happens when the car is above 40 kays and when the revs are under 4000rpm. it really has me stumped. its been doing it for a few months now. i can feel the vibrating only in the footwell.

A wild guess but it could be a wheel bearing, Simply a worn vibrating engine mount. Or other things! Since you in austalia and own a Pulsar! i'd join PGA and post it up on there dude!

I saw your thread when you first started it and was going to suggest engine mounts being the problem, but they generally will vibrate all of the time....not only after a few minutes. Worth a look though, check the one up near the head on the opposite side to the gearbox (near the washer fluid bottle), it's the worst offender.
