Well I finaly got the car on the road Everything runs perfect! smooth,ect… The only thing I notice is a strange thumping sound near the midle of the car. Seems to happen around 80kph, on or off throtle don’t matter. Could it be the hanger bearing? (middle of drive shaft)
A bad hanger bearing IIRC, will vibrate your shifter severely on take off in first gear up until 4000ish rpms. from my experience when i had a bad bearing, i only noticed the vibrations in 1st gear mainly.
of course yours could be worse, or not as bad, who knows.
take it off, see how the rubber is, and if the metal collars/rings have ripped out of position. be careful though the rubber tears easily.
