Ok, so it seems the fun never stops, eh?. Went through the ridiculous rigamarole to get the Tudor badged last week. Got it back the day before Thanksgiving. Next day I took it on a trip to Niagra falls NY for a friends wedding. About 1/3 of the way into the 8 hour trip, the tranny picked up a vibration in the driveline. After some inflight diagnosis, this is what I've found.
In OD:
bucks and vibrates through all gears unless at WOT. Once highway cruise speed (55-70) is reached, the bucking dies down and the car hums along. Soon as the grade changed, or I tried to gradually accelerate, the bucking and shaking came back.
In D:
Mild vibrations till 45, not nearly as pronounced as in OD. As soon as I drop it into OD at highway speed (50-55) The rumbling and bucking kicks back up unless at WOT.
In Neutral, no hesitation from motor during any use of the accelerator pedal. I also did this in Park, with the same results. The motor would not seem to be the source of the issue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you need more info, I'll provide whatever you need. Im trying to figure if I need to prepare myself for a new trans, or if there's something small or atleast moderate, that it might be.
Thanks mangs
