Help me diagnose this problem please......
Since fitting my built engine I have developed a strange 'tingling vibration' through the pedals when changing gear at high revs. I didn't have this before so I guess it's something I have done and I can only think of 3 things it could be:
1. Clutch - I fitted the old ACT clutch by the book using an alignment tool, the plate had 50% wear and seems to be holding very well. 2. Braided clutch line - I removed the old hard clutch line completely and replaced it with a braided line directly from the master cylinder to the slave ( car is RHD). 3. Fitted competition engine mounts. Has anyone had these syptoms? I would be grateful of help as it is starting to worry me and I have the car booked in for a full dyno tune tomorrow! Barry |
The motor mounts are the only possible cause of the 3 you listed.

When do you feel it? When your foot is resting on the clutch and about to shift, or when you've pressed the clutch already?
All three pedals? |
If the comp (read: stiffer) mounts are new to you, welcome to the wonderful increase in NVH when you go to stiffer engine mounts.
Engine mount selection can frequently become a tradeoff between NVH and stiffness. |
Thanks for the replies, I got this when depressing the clutch at high revs and when I released the clutch, but I can also feel it slightly on the accelerator.
I have just unbolted the 2 engine mounts, jacked up the engine a fraction and lowered it then torqued the 2 bolts back up.--Took it for a spin and the vibration is nowhere near as bad so it does seem to be engine mount related.--I did notice when I put the engine in, the drivers side mount sat high (the one with the slot, the nut sat half way in the slot), I forced it down so the engine was level, maybe that was the issue and now it has settled it sits properly. I think I can live with it as it is now, I really didn't think comp mounts would make so much difference, ah well you live and learn....... Cheers guys, Barry |
Maybe you took some twist out of the mounts when you lifted the engine? My race mounts only noticeably increase NVH at tickover.
