Loud gearbox vibration
Recently i stripped all my subframes and fitted energy suspension bushes everywhere.. including Diff Mounts and mazdspeed engine mounts
After the car was back together with a newer and lower mileage 93 1.6 and stage 2 F1 racing clutch (older 90 gearbox still in place) i took it out for a drive.
I noticed a lot of quite loud and heavy vibration coming from the middle of the car on deceleration (at about 3200 down to 2500) and it feels like the vibrations are travelling up the gear stick.
I torqued the clutch plate and the old gearbox slid into the new engine like a well lubed chinamans ***** into a old fat woman. (ie. very well) so id say thats fine..
I did notice a small amount play in the input shaft of the gearbox before i installed it.
Are these vibrations a normal side effect of all this harder rubber in my suspension?? or have i lined something up incorrectly??
any advice on this would be apprciated
