RaGnaR_RattmuFF Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi everyone Should the drivetrain snatch, jerk, twitch (don't know the correct word for it)? pay attention at 00.03 in the video. can it be something in the diff? All the bushings are uretan. Video: http://www.garaget.org/video/h7islv5tjpku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 More details of what you have done to the car might help. Are urethane bushings all the modifications to the drive train? Do you have an R200 differential with u-jointed half shafts? Could be the half shafts bottoming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have been having the same thing happening in my 83 ZX. Its all stock. Just sometimes when I drive its like pushing the clutch in then out really fast. It happens just for a quick fraction of a second with no change in RPM.

dr_hunt Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 IMO that is not the drivetrain it's actually your powerplant. Drivetrains usually don't have an intermittent hickup. If they do it is trying to seize or break something and there is considerable noise associated with it. It could be drive train but from watching the vid you have an ignition problem (most likely).

RaGnaR_RattmuFF Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oh sorry. It is a R180, i think everything is stock.

MoNkEyT88 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Looks like your foot is coming on and off the throttle.. My M3 has a button where you can turn it on "Sport mode" which makes the throttle a lot more sensitive than what it normally is. I think it makes it linear, instead of having it give less throttle at below half pedal. Anyway, when I wasn't use to it, or when my friends were unsuspectingly driving the car, I'd hit that button, and then the reciprocating effect would happen. I thought it was quite funny.. Anyway, the reason I think that is because I can see the drivers knee moving back and forth like he's manipulating the throttle.. And it seems to be fine after the corner. Or unless you're talking about the shifter moving back and forth. That happens when your shifter is directly into the transmission. Every car I've had will do that to some extent.
