Title: Our old favourite - Cattle Grid Effect?
Post by Aneta on Jun 7^th, 2005, 10:19pm

Hi guys,

Just one last question before I resort to the inevitable. From gentle acceleration at either 70, 80, 90, 110 km/h yep all of these, I get the dreaded "cattle grid effect" :'(

Short of dropping the gearbox and replacing the pump seal are there any other likely scenarios for this horrible shuddering effect?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Could it be the prop shaft centre bearing?
That vibrates nicely when worn.
