Hi guys,
|UPDATED|7/18/2016 5:26:49 PM (AZT)|/UPDATED|
My 75 C3 4 speed Coup has a pretty bad vibration at speeds of 45 and up. The steering wheel shakes big time and I can feel it in the seat too. My tires are like new and balanced.
If I push the clutch in while at speed and still in gear the vibration goes away.
My mechanic had it on the rack and couldn't find anything wrong, but did suggest that maybe the half shafts or drive shaft may be out of balance.
What do ya think?
Thanks in advance.
Trent.

If you rev the engine up in neutral does it vibrate? If not, then you prolly do have bad u-joints in the drive and/or half shafts. Another thing to check is the trans mount...if it is broken, or soggy, it will allow the driveshaft to run off-center, creating a vibration.
