shaking tremendesly
 

i spelled that wrong but oh well...

when i take my cobra to high speeds past 80mph my shifter starts to shake ALOT!!! feels like sometings loose down under.. maybe my driveshafts loose? idk. and my whole car shakes kinda. but it my shifter. any ideas?

nah no clunks. just shakes like a mother ****er...

sounds like maybe your driveshaft is out of balance. maybe a bad u joint? do you hear any clunks?

RE: shaking tremendesly
 

you do any hard launches? could of thrown the driveshaft out of phase wich will mess up the balance. other than that, the only other thing i could think of is maybe a bad transmission mount to cause excessive feedback through the shifter.

well i bent my axles about a few weeks ago and took it in to get a rearend swap .. i got it back then thats when it started shaking. u think they didnt put back the driveshaft in right. they just threw it in>?

heres one way to tell if its your driveshaft out of balance. if youve ever felt how your tires feel when they are out of balance, the drive shaft vibration will be a little more rapid as the driveshaft moves at much higher speeds than the tires so if its a real rapid vibration its most likely driveshaft related. my 2 cents.

yupp!! i feel like my tires are outta of balance.. so it is out of balance. sdhfkldsjfkj. ill have to take it back to gearheads cause its thier **** up..[:@]

It could be the engine mounts are worn out causing the rear of the tranny to pitch up a little,causing the pinion angle to change,causing the vibes.??????

RE: shaking tremendesly
 

just a thought, you sure your cars not out of alignment?

Thats entirely possible. Sounds more like a suspension/steering component then anything else. Torn Bushing, ect.
