So my car wobbles while driving… like steering wheel violently shaking while at 30mph… but it only does it sometimes at that speed doesnt do it while going fast, or any other time, and doesnt do it all the time the car needs a new axles, but ive never felt a car wobble with a bad axle (just clicks) My 3rd gear is also taking a poop, ive never done 2/3 pulls, it’s just regular driving, it downshifts into 3rd fine, but upshifting into third it grinds 95% of the time unless u shift at like 1500rpms (nothnx) i was thinking maybe it’s the synchro, or maybe dsms just suck this bad… i know they have weak 3rd synchros or something right? but this is like the 4th blown tranny on this car, so i was wondering if something was fucked up with the linkage see: [http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79423](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79423) thanks for any help ---

the shaking always happens to me during the winter, and like every customer that comes into valvoline, did ya check for ice caught under the front? try kicking and breakin that shit loose and you should be fine, if thats the case, otherwise i would think unblanaced tires for the tranny, i dont think dsms suck, every kind of car has its own special problems and the only thing ive heard of is crank walk, maybe you just got a shitty tranny, neon9798 is fine with his and that trannys got an assload of miles ---

it does it when it’s warm out too… well warm enough where there isnt ice… it was doing it that one day we had where it was 40 out unbalanced tires would make it pull to the right… like really hard to the right ---

woobling could be a number of things first things first check your lugs. uneven tread ware unbalanced tires mismatched tires. wheel bearing could be the source. also if there’s ice in the wheel wells as said in the previous post. As far as the tranny most of the 1g trannys are notchy mine used to have a real bad grind with anything over 3grand going into second gear. drained the fluid put in pennzoil syncromesh sold at autozone. And it fixed my grinding issue. Thats your only chance of getting fixing besides Changing the tranny 🙂 any questions pm me ---

I had the same problem last winter it was a wheel bearing. But it could be different in your case. ---

how do u check tire balance? just take it to a shop and have them rebalanced? i have summer rims with proxes4, i can throw those on and see if it makes a difference… it’s just so fuckin cold out that i dont wanna do it because it’s outside lol i’m only going to be driving the car for a few more days til it goes away… it’s just really annoying and i dont want to die lol ---

ya, just throw on another set of rims that you know are good, or take it to a tire shop, if they dont need balancing they wont charge much to check them ---
