Installed McLeod RXT twin... new vibration Hey all,
I had a McLeod RXT twin disk clutch installed on my car recently, and I have a new vibration since that day. The vibration is like a "buzzing" sound that isn't very violent, but does harmonize with some things in the car enough to make them buzz with it.
The interesting thing is when the vibration occurs. It's not the usual problem where the vibration gets worse as you go faster. It's based on RPM range and, in one case, gear. Here are the two situations where it occurs:
1) If I'm in 4th gear at 1500 RPMs and stab the gas it will vibrate until 2000 RPMs. It's a pretty narrow window. This doesn't concern me much, but it's quite a clue.
2) If I'm running it through the gears, it vibrates above 6k RPMs in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The vibration disappears the instant that I press the clutch in or shift such that RPMs drop below 6k. I'm not sure if it does it in 4th because I haven't yet gone that fast. This does concern me... at least I have a scattershield on it now.
Does anyone have any ideas?
