Hi, this is my first post so forgive me if I am going over old ground. I have just had the gearbox rebuilt and a new clutch fitted to my 56 reg jimny. It has now developed a severe vibration from 1800 to 2200 rpm. I cannot find the problem but suspect that the prop shaft is causing this even though it disapeares if you just touch the throttle. Cruising at 30 to 40mph is impossible due to the vibration. Any help would be great as I am a newbie on jimny, cheers.
Hi, thanks for the reply, the vibrations are through the chassis, I have only tried it in 2wd but will get on some slippy stuff and try 4wd as well. It seems worse in 3rd 4th and 5th though,
