I fit my gti6 engine in a ph2 and then a ph3 sedan. Problem, I have been getting a vibration on the left side on acceleration in both cars at low speeds it vibrate, on top speeds it smooths out. I have changed drive shafts, ball joints, inner and outer ends power flex bushings I even put on a gti6 stabilizing bar the only thing I have not changed are the 1.6 calipers it originally came with. I am currently using a 1.8 gearbox with gti6 drive shafts. Losing hope cause this vibration is nerve wrecking. What can I do?

I know it's a subtle difference but are you certain it's a vibration and not a vidration?

A few ideas for you to look at:

-Bulged or flat spotted tyre, jack up one side and put it in second idling (providing the diff is conventional not LSD). Run your finger on the sidewalls and tread as it rotates.

-Are you using a 6 box with non six shafts? The inner joint on the BE3/6 box has a shorter stub. Other shafts will bottom out early in the box, effectively giving you no plunge, what you feel is the engine moving left and right as the inner joint rotates.

-The car is too low for the inner joint's max angle? I have seen this with one brand of very low spring.

-You may have 2 sets of shafts with broken springs in the inner joints one side or the other giving you the same effect as point 2, usually with these shaft issues the gearstick will vibrate under acceleration, moreso in 1st and 2nd. If you find a broken spring in the offside you can remove it but never remove the nearside spring as it relies on this to seal the gear oil in the nearside diff seal.

Hope this gives you the answer you're looking for! Give us a call if you need any parts as we often have used shafts etc.
