Shudder on Acceleration at Low Speed

Cause Correction
Propeller shaft rev limiter/snubber contacting the driveline tube - manual transmission applications only A rev limiter/snubber that is contacting the driveline tube may create a "moaning" type noise and/or vibration that is felt through the shift lever. Slight noise and vibration is to be considered normal during an overspeed condition but should not be present when the overspeed condition has ceased.
Replace components as required.
Propeller shaft "out-of-balance" condition A propeller shaft "out-of-balance" condition may create a vibration and be caused by:
  • Worn rev limiter/snubber - manual transmission applications only
  • Bent propeller shaft
  • Loose or missing parts
