Thread: Turning + any throttle = hard vibration

Any throttle while turning causes a fairly significant vibration in the 01GTP I just resurrected (full motor/trans swap).

Axles were on the car before hand, and had no issues....

The trans mount is a ZZP poly unit... I imagine it may be causing some of the idle vibration I have (along with the motor being fairly fond of misfiring right now).

The motor mount is new off a 05 (I figured they looked pretty much the same).

The trans itself is completely an unknown, could have any number of issues, the motor/trans came out of a car that was hit in the front.

I can rip it in a straight line, and it feels great.. but I get on it a bit going around an onramp, and the more gas I give, the harder it shakes.

Ever had the cover off the diff housing? Ive exploded a diff before and they shake pretty good before the pin causes the diff to explode when they come out.

May check the diff soon.. I imagine it would be bad news if I ever did a 1wheel peel? (yes I sorta want to test it via a burnout)

No, both were in the car when I got it... they were behind a perfectly normal and functioning turbo setup for awhile....

I may have damaged them during the trans removal.. I was not nice to the pass side axle as I took the motor/trans out the top, together....
