RE: Wish me luck
Sounds more like differential or drive shaft problems and I trust you are doing this 80-90ish on private roads so that you don't get booked? Believe me if we ALL kept to max 70mph (okay so it's boring) we could do away with around 90% of traffic police and their annoying habit of popping up where you least expect them.
All the best, Peter. |

Only on private airfields, following the traffic flow of DC10's honest guv !
The other thing I wondered was could it be an engine mount? When Drive or Reverse are engaged the engine seems to shift more on the drivers side than the passengers..... any views ? Jim, '96 855-R (The Flying Wardrobe) |

RE: Wish me luck
Have you looked at the top engine mounting to see if it's split?
Changing the auto box fluid will do no harm, but a can't see how this could cause vibration. Is the vibration there at the same speed in third? |

Hi Chris,
The daft thing is it ONLY ever does this at the specific speed range, in 4th....never before, never after and never in any other gear..... Jim, |

RE: Wish me luck
Hi Jim,
Mine was doing this recently at about the same speed, turned out to be front wheels out of ballance. I also have a weak damper on the passenger side which can't have helped. Maybe worth having the wheels ballanced if you haven't already. Regards. |

My C70 autobox sometimes judders when doing a manual shift between 3 and D, usually if you just do the change once.
However, if you repeat the process a couple of times the problem clears itself which leads me to think that it is an electronic problem rather than a mechanical one. My local dealer is suitably perplexed! Resh |

Hi Alex,
Most certaintly is. I actually live in North Wales. My C70 is needing a routine cash injection at the moment...You know the usual things like tyres and brakes so I`m using this as an excuse to upgrade further. I`ll post some pictures when I`m done. |

Lovely house too :)
How do you find the supersprint exhaust? I've got one on mine (although the c70 tailpipe is bigger!!!), i quite like mine, nice note. |
