Drivetrain vibration and noise releasing thottle

[Tripps]

Spotted a slight vibration and graunching noise when releasing the throttle in gear when out just now, nothing terrible, but noticeable none the less.

From the vibration it feels like its from the driveshaft area and continues to happen when the car is fully warmed up too.

Don't suppose it sound familiar to anyone?

I'm wondering whether its just lack of use at the moment, as I've used it just three times so far this year...

Behave, you'll be giving me high blood pressure with vibes like that!

I'm assuming you mean 3 times this year (2005), and not last year. In which case, shouldn't be a problem.

This year yes!

Felt initially like it might have been rust of the discs/pads, but I'd think that would clear quite quickly and the vibration does feel further back in the transmission tunnel area.

Drives fine otherwise though

Has a wheel thrown a weight, so its out of balance.

Brake disc warped.

UV joints.

Hit a pot hole.

Check your wheel nuts are tight.

Brand new fronts in October so hopefully not!

Not hit any potholes or had any memerable bumps, so that was my guess - but I could remember the name of the doojit!

Expensive to fix?

Diff mount???? Letting off the throttle could make the diff twist and touch something it shouldn't?
Not much for the mount but long labour to do

I get a noise like this every few months.......

My exhaust bracket keeps snapping causing a little vibration down though the tunnel and a horrible noise like a sticky tappet!

Maybe its that!

I like the sound of tht (i.e. cheap to fix), the vibration occurs on overrun, and mine does pop & bang quite a bit, giving the exhaust good reason to vibrate...

Cheers Craig, my hair is now growing back as the worry subsides
