Drive Train \"Tuning\"
Now that I am driving the car, I have noticed a surging feeling /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif while driving the car at cruise (neutral throttle) – that is not accelerating and not decelerating. It looks like the engine is ever so slightly bucking – back to front. It may be my imagination but it seems to occur after driving over a small bump or depression in the road. If I accelerate it immediately smooths out! It also seems to go away if I depress the clutch. Not like anything is shaking – doesn’t feel like an imbalance in the engine or the half shafts.
I have checked all the suspension, mount bolts and even the transaxle stays – everything is tight. Do any of you guys have ideas as to what might cause something like this?
I plan to try different adjustments of the shocks. I get the feeling something starts to rock (back to front) and gets into a “resonant frequency”. At present my only solution is to always accelerate!
Thanks in advance
