5KCST Harmonic vibration-help



I would appreciate any advice on a problem affecting both of my 1986
5KCST's, one 5-speed, one automatic.

After both cars had their tranaxles out (for clutch, and differential
repairs, respectively) they both now have a vibration/harmonic rumble,
which seems to be coming from the exhaust system. The vibration/noise is
most noticeable at 1800 and 2900 RPM's (both cars.)

Were the catalytics or mufflers affected during the manifold removal?
Could the internal baffles have been damaged? Is it simply the rubber
mounts that need adjustment?

THANKS
Baffled in Lake Tahoe,

Title: The Quattro List

Vorsprung Durch Technik!

The quattro list has been featured in European Car and Autoweek magazines!

The quattro list is a mailing list for discussing the ownership, driving and repair of Audi automobiles. This list and web pages are provided as a service to the Internet community. The list is maintained by Dan Simoes. Note that the list is unmoderated, and as such, neither I nor ANS are responsible in any way for the validity of information posted to the list. As such, each author is solely responsible for what he/she posts to the list (and subsequently, what may appear in the archives). If you have any questions about this policy please contact me directly.

You can subscribe/unsubscribe to the quattro list by clicking here

Note: the list is quite active, so perhaps you would prefer to sign up for the digest version instead. AOL/Compuserve/Worldnet users (and anyone else with a restricted mailbox) should use this unless you are in the habit of checking your mail daily. If I get bounces from your account you will be dropped!

Want to browse before joining? Look through our mailing list archives.
Note: some of you have asked how you can retrieve individual digests (in case they bounced). Since the archives have been converted to a daily format, you can now quickly view all the messages in a single day by browsing the archives.

Or, use the nifty search engine

Maintaining your Audi can be an expensive proposition. But if you know where to get parts, and where to get your car repaired, they are actually pretty affordable to maintain!
