Hi,
I have finally been able to pinpoint my source of vibration. Its the 5speed gear in my J200. Got it confirmed from a very experienced garage, after explaining my scenario to him. He also mentioned that its a very small issue and that it can be driven without any problems, but i just dont like even a small vibration in my j200.
So after changing the transmission mounts and driving for about 3 months, i noticed that my mounts bolts had become loose (dont know why, it was tight torque spec). I have this body vibration very minor (but still present), like a mobile vibration on the steering wheel, floorboards, seats etc. (not the left right sway, due to balancing issue), felt at speeds above 110kph all the way to 140 kph, (fifth gear 2100-2600rpm) & becomes smooth at 150kph and above.
My drive shafts, axles, cv joints, tyres all are good condition, checked and confirmed many times at different places. The gear oil is relatively new (been driven for about 20k kms since the change)
So, with respect to the gear. The shifting is smooth upshift, but downshift from 4-3 gives a jerk as well as 3-2 small, but felt.
My question is, what should i look to change in the gearbox:
1. Torque converter
2. Solenoid things
3. Transmission fluid
4. Any bearing which wears out first
5. Anything related to transfer case.
Do let me know. thanks.
I may be wrong, i am not an expert on this matter.
