Seems worse on harder ground when off roadin'. Sometimes not noticeable at all.Selects gears no problem,but when climbing uneven hard ground the gear stick vibrates,a kinda rattle i guess.
Hi, I'm no expert but as no one has replied, thought I'd chip in - I had stick vibration (also steering column vibration) and a road car, that varied and it was down to a failed rear engine mounting - might be worth inspecting as it should be visually evident if there's an issue.
Might be worth checking the transfer box mounts
After a bit off ambitious offroading (following a v8 jeep) I had a bolt snap on mine :blush: - the gearstick rattled and you could feel the vibration when you rested your hand on the gear stick
Cheers guys. Had a wee look this afternoon and transfer mounts seem ok. There is slight movement on the nearside engine mount,on the engine side so will have a better look during the week.
I'm sticking to this topic as my problem seems similar. Even when driving on good tarmac, the gear stick constantly vibrates. I will try to make a video showing the problem, but visually it's about 1 centimeter in amplitude from left to right. Vibration frequency seems to increase with speed.
Is this normal (i.e. "they all do that") or should I start investigating the transfer box and engine mounts?
