Weird vibration under throttle

If the bolts were reused you could be missing one. I have been told they should be considered 1 time use.
It is something you would notice under acceleration, as that would be when it is most likely to flex. I have had 2 different e30s now that have either lost or broken a drive shaft bolt on the transmission side and under acceleration there is noticeable vibration, but at cruising speed there is nothing. First time it happened to me It was after a hard 1-2 shift going onto a county highway and I didn't know anything was wrong until I came to a stop light and went to accelerate. 2nd car was pretty much same situation, drove it a little hard, get off the highway and to the stop light, go to take off and noticed a little vibration, the harder I got on it the more vibration there was, but once at speed nothing (pulled it in the garage, immediately jacked it up, and sure enough lost a drive shaft bolt transmission side).Leave a comment:

Weird vibration under throttle
Guibo was changed in May, less than 3k on it but wouldn't that be speed related? Not load/rpm related? That is why I think it is engine related... It runs great and all, just the vibration under loadLast edited by HennaE30; 02-15-2015, 12:50 PM.Leave a comment:

Make sure all of your drive shaft bolts are still there. Ever looked at the guibo to make sure its not worn?Leave a comment:

Weird vibration under throttle
There is a weird vibration under 1/2 throttle or more. Mostly noticeable in 3rd 4th and 5th between 2000-3000rpm.
i was thinking maybe it is an exhaust leak, because its a horrendous drone/vibration. But i thought id post it in here because its more encompassing.
Any ideas on what it might be?
84 325e btw
edit: it also just had motor tranny mounts done in December if that helps at all.Tags: None
