Have I got a problem with the R?

Yesterday I noticed that when I'm going at around 60-70 mph in 4th gear, if I accelerate full throtle the car gets some vibrations. It's not from the wheels, it's different, it seems to come from the transmision or the motor. It's a vibration that stops when I got 100 mph with the same gear. I have noticed that in 6th the vibration exits but no so strong.

Have you got something similar or may I go to the dealer?

My R32 is a mark V and manual gearbox and has 12000 miles.

Hi ClimberSP 169144-ok.gif

Not sure if you have a Milltek fitted, but I get a vibration up through the transmission housing if the exhaust is really hot sekret.gif

it makes the metal parts in the gear lever/housing resonate.

Also worth checking heat shields, exhaust mountings and the cats for any obvious damage/knocking.

Nothing like that on my Mk4 with just a few miles more, and on the Isle of Man where i live, 70+ MPH is perfectly legal. If the car isn't warmed up fully the engine can be less smooth though accelerating in higher gears. Always best to warm a large V6 up before full throttle accelerations.
