Transmission Shake

[Swampfox58]

Long time no post. Hope everyone is doing well. I've picked up a vibration in my transmission as I release the clutch in 1st gear...other gears everything is still smooth. Anyone want to take a shot at a diagnosis? I'm sure whatever the reason it will be inexpensive and easy to fix.

I would start with the easy stuff first, check the rubber on the engine mounts, transmission mount and confirm all the bolts are tight. U-joints and slip yokes are in good shape.

Everything after that gets more costly for both time and money.

rubber on the engine mounts

Good place to start...

I went though this. Changed all the motor mounts praying that was it.

Needed a clutch.

Needed a clutch.

That’s my bet...

Sometimes a flywheel with bad heat spots will do that too. I’d check out the mounts first , like previously mentioned.

Yeah but a flywheel means a clutch.

Not necessarily...
Clutch can still actually function with flywheel hot spots. And it’s possible for a newb wrench to replace a clutch without inspecting or removing a flywheel.

If anyone goes to the trouble to pull a tranny and does not go to the next step to replace everything they should get punched in the dick
