Vibration when I'm accelerating

[rwh11385]

So maybe I should have replaced the guibo the PO was planning on doing when I bought the car..... :shock:

Shit.

Ryan, how much for the driveshaft? (How much did you pay, that is)

[Ryan Stewart]

I think it was just under 4. Like 380 or something like that.

You know, hard to remember. Its only money. :? Did the SSK at the same time. First mod ever to the car.

when i had bmw replace my driveshaft it was 800 with labor any everything, driveshaft was like $380 new... They said it would be more expensive and time consuming to rebuilt the current one then replace it with a new one...

From what I hear there is a good chance that the problem is the CSB and not the u-joints. I am going to inspect mine even though its new. I think it might have shifted some.

[Ryan Stewart]

Good luck. THat is what mine was diagnosed as first and it ended up not being it. When I took it down to the mechanic who is doing the swap he acted like he couldnt believe it was diagnosed as the CSB.

[Digitalwave]

Well, I reinstalled my CSB without the dust gaurds, which also act as spacers. I think it might have shifted on the drive shaft.

Well too bad this isnt happening to someone with an early car. :?

Mine did it under load. When I was accelerating. It was worst when I was accelerating form a stop around turns. If I let off the throttle it all but dissapeared and as I approached 25mph it faded until I became undiscernable above 25.

Mine was exactly as you described here... I had an extra drive-shaft and one afternoon decided to change it and it fixed the problem for me.

Will a driveshaft from a 325 fit an m42?

[kylebes1]

flanges- yes
length- probably not

Don't those people ever get tried of dancing?
