Im still trying to help a local SC owner with his 1995 5 speed.
It developed a shaking about 2 years ago after the rear differential went out making a bad noise - another mechanic diagnosed it as the clutch, so he replaced the Flywheel, and Clutch .. and when the noise didnt stop, he figured out it was the rear differntial. So it's been shaking ever since then, enough to break the power steering lines and a few other things.
The car only shakes at idle, when it gets revved up it runs smooth and everything is ok. Since it started breaking, he replaced the Motor mounts, spark plugs, wires, etc ..
Im just wondering ( Before I pull the whole engine / transmission out of the car ) .. if anybody has any second thoughts on the flywheel being the cause of the problem ?? The shaking does seem to be more visable in the rear end of the engine, it's just hard to tell what is "normal" shaking and "out of balance" shaking.
Flywheel ? Pressute plate ??
