Gearshift wobble?????
« on: 21 March 2010, 21:44:15 »

Dont know if anyone has had this before but my mv6 has a wobble at between 40mph and 70mph that makes the auto shifter shake! you can feel it a bit through the car itself but you can physically see the shifter shaking! Its not the front discs cos you cant feel it through the pedal and its worse when you accelerate but seems to die off if you brake!
Was thinking maybe a gearbox mount or donut on the propshaft........any ideas?? :-/

Ive noticed the gear shift seems to vibrate (def not what i would call a wobble) a bit over pot holes and bumps, that sort of thing... more so than my previous BM's... All seems pretty solid though..

I don't experience any specific vibrations at certain speeds though...

Maybe gearbox selector not bolted up tight enough.  Just an idea

It could be one of your gearbox mounts or engine mounts, Better checking them all. but it should not wobble that much. It does move a bit but not very much.

Check for clean spot on your propshaft as well, A balancing weight could have dropped off.

Cheers guys, will get it on the ramp today or tomorrow and see what i can see! It does seem to wobble a bit more than it should when you hit a pot hole so am hoping it is just a mount!
Will let you know what i find. :y
