SCIONOSIS

I wonder if your VVti advance gear is hanging up intermittently. Any DTCs?

TCpete

nope... no codes... but here was in interesting diagnosis i kinda discovered today..

on a downward decline... vibrations kinda gone.. lol.. smooth a wistle ..on a verticle incline upward.. vibrations are a little rougher then average... which leads me to believe the mounts are part of the issue.. im going to try more declines now in some garages and heavy hills i know of... and the mystery continues lol

i doubt its going to do anything.
but do me a favor and take off that stupid ETD.
i hate those things.

TCpete

actually yea im going to take it off and sell it... its in the way of the wire tuck ... ZOMG!!! =p

S-pipe hitting the crossmember?? That would explain the angles affecting it.

id make sure all the bolts are tight on all the mounts, and also check the mounts to make sure they still appear to be in good condition.

and i doubt the ETD would cause that much noticeable vibration, but you never know...

TCpete

i know the ETD in no way causes the vibrations im having.. its served me well.. now that i have all the ES mounts on the car and have had them on for over 15k miles... i can safely say the ETD has been almost just sitting there collecting dust.. but i luff et lol... motor stays rock solid in the bay

not mine.. send it my way pete! it seems no matter how tight i get these front and rear mounts... the bolt will slide on the mount

i have ONLY the mounts and my motor goes absolutely nowhere.
the ETD is garbage.
its like a big band aid, instead of fixing the problem it just covers it up.

PROBLEM FOUND...

so initially one of the things i thought it was that was throwing everything off was true... not the motor mounts like my first guess but my 2nd guess..



after dealing my busted stage 4 clutch from comp clutch i decided to go after the warranty for it since for over 10 months it was giving me problems.. well after 10 months i finally got the new clutch and after swapping out the old one with the new... BOOM.. crazy engine vibrations are gone.

turns out most likely a mixture of an imbalaced disc and hald of the disc parts rambling around inside and inbetween the flywheel and the disc pretty much i can say are the culprit of the problem.

new clutch is in and so far the crazy vibrations i was feeling before have disappeared and now its just the normal vibrations from motor mounts that i usually got before are left... a good relief for me ..thanks jeeebus for listening to my prayers lol

i also took the time to inspect all the mounts while the tranny was out and they were all nice and solid and clean...

hey... not to thread jack but why do you hate your 12lb fly wheel and who makes it???

TCpete

i like the flywheel.. i hated the clutch.. both are made by comp clutch... the 12lb flywheel is fine though.. i have no issues with it.
