Mitsubishi: 99 Gallant vibration

99 Gallant vibration
My car seems to vibrate a lot during moderate acceleration. I have
recently had the wheels aligned and tires balanced, but this didn’t
seem to help too much. The ride is relatively smooth when cruising at
constant speed or coasting, but the second I hit the gas to pass
someone on the highway it feel like my car is going to fall apart!
It’s not like the engine is cutting in and out, just the whole car
seems to shake. Any ideas what could be causing this? Something in
the drivetrain or transmission perhaps?
Thanks,
Paul

Re: 99 Gallant vibration
your vehicle should have a F4A23-2 transaxle identifiable by casting numers
STAMPED into the top of the case on top of the transmission. if the
vibration only occurs in passing gear there is a distinct possibility that
intermediate band or direct clutch is failing you will find the transaxle id
number on a flat spot close to where the cooling lines come into the
transaxle. if you plan on keeping the car maybe get it overhauled if not
then dont hit passing gear and you will extend the life of the transmission

Re: 99 Gallant vibration
COuld be a tyre itself, jack up each side and spi the wheel by hand and look
for any irregular movement. Could also be a engine mounting cracked and
allowing the engine to move more than normal.

Re: 99 Gallant vibration
there are mount stoppers on the transmission mount, if these go bad you
have engine to body contact instead of being rubber insulated mr333457 is
the mitus part number, you may also want to watch the engine movement while
someone reliable shifts between drive and reverse as you may have other
mounts ripped,

tha both axles had worn down. I replace both axles and problem solve.
