Vibration in 5th gear.
Just recently I have been experiencing a vibration which I can feel in the steering wheel and pedals, funny thing it appears in 5th gear about 70 mph, then if I change up to 6th gear it disapears. Not sure if it linked though I'm experiencing rattle / whining noise when decelerating whilst driving on motorway, even when in neutral it sounds like a bag off spanners under cubby box area, if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated, as my warranty ends in September .

Just to note, on my way to work thought I would see and if I could drive vibration out by increasing speed in 5th gear, at around 80mph 36000 rpm vibration stops, so could be possibly something in the driveline oscillating, out of sync??

Cheers
Keith

It could be a warn link gear shaft between the transfer box and main gear box. they are a female spline cup on the gearbox output shaft that takes a long male splined shaft to take the drive into the transfer box. they are prone to waring and in some cases can cause vibration.

Also check your prop shaft joints for play.

This sound familiar .. I get a vibration when moving but not under load. Ie not accelerating or deccelerating. Quite a harsh vibration.

Pete, is the link between the gearboxes easy to check and replace? Gearbox out job?

not main box but transfer box out , but to be honest I don't think the shaft would only make noise in 5th only

Thanks for the info Pete, also I have experienced vibration which seems to be coming from around transfer box area whilst moving slowly away, feels like when you change up into a higher gear by accident, once you gain speed it disapears?? Also not sure if this is anyway related, when switching ignition off, I get a loud clunk from same area quite a lot.

Cheers
