Vibration

[DanMurphy1 at aol.com]

Let me assure you its not in the clutch, flywheel, transmission, engine,  
power steering pump,hoses, ac comp., alternator, motormounts, axles, 
bushings, vibration damper, master and clutch slave, injectors, cat., 
exhaust, brackets, hangers etc!!!!  I have been chasing this costly annoying 
problem down for about a year and a half. Car is a early 89 200tq 1 knock 
sensor type chassis,
3 seperate motors, 2 flywheels, clutch, 1 brand NEW Trans. , etc,. etc.. 
Three different shops, all scratching thier heads , totally frustrated and in 
disbelief when the car leaves the same way it came in. I am saying this so 
you do not fall prey to some expert advice and try and give it a shot. This 
vibration is a harmonic sounding hum when  you listen carefully which is 
transmitted in to the motor and flywheel into vibration , always, every time 
you slowly bring the revs up to the range. If you run briskly past and into 
upper rpm chances are you would not know its there. is this the symptom you 
have? I have checked the timing, and anything else I could think of.   It is 
certainly a vibration within the motor and flywheel, no question about it, it 
is there.  If you  disconnect the Decel hose and pull off the flywheel dust 
cover bracket at the bottom of trans to block your in for a hell of a foot 
massage at the clutch pedal in the rpm range. Sorry for the long post but I 
am hoping for any suggestions from any listers for help and thoughts. There 
was a post in the archives a long while back about the same vibration but got 
wiped out by the bug.  The only thing left to check or replace on my car is 
in the electrics, and fuel system. If you find it let me know, I saved your 
Email just in case something comes up. Sorry for the bad news, 
dan
