OK, I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I have a judder that I need to get sorted. Just started this weekend and although it's not getting worse...yet...I'm concerned.
Engine revs cleanly all the way in neutral.
Revs cleanly and no judder in first and second
In third....if I accelerate to 35mph+ judder starts
Fourth and Fifth....anything over 35mph and the judder starts.
From 35mph+ the judder does not go away and increases to limit much acceleration past 55mph
The judder lessens if I stop accelerating and just coast in gear. It disappears if I knock the gearbox into neutral or dump the clutch.
The car is a 2001 Defender TD5 (as per my pic). Just read a similar post with the same problem which was prop shafts and UJs, so just checked mine and I can turn the small prop shaft around at least a third of an inch if not more. Is this normal or does the problem lie here ?
Cheers
