Vibration when accelerating hard.

[danpullen]

Hi guys got an ongoing problem that neither I or my local mechanic could point out directly.
Basically when I accelerate hard more in a high gear and even more under load I get a heavy vibrating.
I've checked engine mounts and to see if manifold is rubbing but I can't see any signs. Someone mentioned clutch springs and a pulley but I didn't know if anyone had experienced a similar problem.

Your help would be appreciated Dan.

Driveshaft maybe?

Either the above or Diff in gear box.

Mine did this, was fine driving sensibly but as soon as you put your foot down and loaded the engine / box up the car would shake like a wheel out of balance.

thanks for the replies. 'j' if you dont mind me asking did you ever resolve your problem? 519 motorsport said it could be a driveshaft, but visually they look sound, ie gaiters are ok and no visible damage. as for the diff in the gearbox, my clutch is due any way so i could get it reconditioned at the same time if my bank balance agrees ha.
cheers guys. dan

I tried the drive shaft route first which didn't resolve, I (S&MWM) just stuck a new gearbox in, issue resolved.
