Need help guys, I've been fighting a bad vibration and awful sound from my '85 B2 with A4LD and a manual shift BW 1350. I've had the driveshaft out and rebuilt it. Had a driveshaft shop look at it as well. I think it is ok.
I did have the transmission out and replace the front seal last year, but I don't think it is flex plate or torque converter related because I would feel that all the time whether it was in gear driving or just sitting still.
Basically my symptoms are when I drive I get a bad vibration between 25 and 35 mph and I can feel it through the transfer case lever. If I let off and coast the noise goes away. So it happens when the driveline is loaded. Also when coming to a stop, it almost sounds like your dragging something across a wash board.
I just learned last night that you can adjust the gate for the shifter on the transfer case. My only thought is maybe the transfer case isn't completely in 2 HI. I tried a trial of putting the rig in 4 HI and driving for a while, seemed to make the condition better?
Thoughts? Hope I didn't smoke my transfer case.....
