Been meaning to post this for a while now...
Since fitting my rear diff mount Powerflex bush, which cured the off-throttle transmission shunt I was getting, I've noticed something else perculiar instead.
If you're pootling around in traffic, at around 1300RPM, usually in 2nd and 3rd gears, if I accellerate with anything more than feather throttle through that rev band, I get a quite noticable vibration through the chassis, which will sometimes skip the CD player mounted in the boot.
Is this something to do with the Powerflex bush simply being more rigid, and isn't dampening the transmission vibrations when the engine is at load, or have I messed up the installation somehow! The car drives fine otherwise, performance and handling are as before.
It's a wierd one. Anyone else with the Powerflex diff mount have this? What have I done?!
