Oh snap! I almost forgot. I compression tested my 88 and the front was 90-90-90 and the rear was 100-105-95. So that rules out bad compression but has anybody on here (this thread) ever had a broken smog pump bracket? because mine is broken and I am somewhat convincing myself that that is the cause, or at least assisting the cause, of my vibrating 7.

 

that might be it..or the tranny mount.

:AA:

 

Dude ...where did you find that ^^^^^^ that would make a cool sticker

 

i made it man...you think so..?? ill look into it.

:AA:

 

Yeah i want one..........but in gray!

 

ill have them made at the block in orange..simple, ill get you one too.

:AA:

 

but without the AA......................




1st7

 

can you make me 2. a red one and a silver one. and with 13bchris.

 

alright, im sure he can alter it..after he load's the image.

:AA:

 

That vibration could also be your motor mounts.

 

thats what i originally thought, and when I check my trans mount tomarrrow afternoon, ill check those too.

 

will be good to see u in your 7 finally =)

 

what about mine with cookie monster! haha thats alot of letters... 13bchris when do you feel the vibration? at idle? then its prolly the motor mounts but you should put a new air pump bracket on since you have 2 other sevens...

 

Check the U-Joints in the driveshaft and make sure there is no play.
You don't want it to get to the point where the driveshaft snaps on your way to work (>_<) I know.

 

Ditto Chris, when I replaced my u-joints, the vibrations stopped. But Eric, it recently came back mildly, I was thinking that the spider bearing in the u-joint isn't totally centered. How do you make sure its centered???? Without a precision tool, all I could do was a visual.

 

well it vibrates mildly through out the rpm range but is excessive around 2.5k to about 3200 rpm. I do need to fix the air pump bracket this weekend.

 

i could put 13BC.M. ?? i dont know tho..


that must have sucked..


:AA:

 

hmmm, with that pricing, im considering just buying the rebuild kit, with all the seals, springs, and crap... but im just worried my housings and such are no good... if thats the case, gotta go looking for another s5 t2 motor... LOL

 

THANKS AA!!!

 

your welcome man..

:AA:

 

Ok everyone I'll see you tonight I'm not going to get a lot of food because funds are low from school. anyway later all.

 

im wondering if i should go tonight, is hozz going?? that way i can grab his emblem's that he's been wanting forever.....

:AA:

 

im having the worst luck today... im not gonna make tonight meet i dont want anything else to happen. sorry kevin.

 

ill be there

 

I'll be there, Maybe with one side of LED tail lights (working on them now)
As for the driveshaft, I had bought a new one from mazdatrix, already balanced. It's great when they have everything in stock.
The stock driveshaft u-joints can't be replaced, but the aftermarket ones from mazdatrix can.
