Sqeasel Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have a problem with the stick shift buzzing like it is on fire. This started happening after i swapped the engine with another one from the same model and year of brat. Above about 45mph it is really bad, but below, it is ok. I was previously told that it could be either the transmission mounts were bad, or the engine shaft had been rotated 180 degrees from what it should be. I replaced the mounts, but it is still buzzing really bad, and i dont understand how the rotation of the engine shaft would make it buzz like that. Any suggestions? I would like to get this fixed as soon as i can. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeasel Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Ive made sure that all the bolts connecting the engine to the transmission are tight. I can check again, but we made sure that it was connected well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I meant the bolts that connect the drive shaft to the rear diff. BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeasel Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Good idea, we did replace it quite a while ago, and they might have loosened slightly. I will check them, but it concerns me that it happened basicly instantaneously after swapping the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
