I have recently bought a V8 100 series auto and have noticed an exremely faint vibration through the accelerator between 1100 and about 1400 rpm. Only noticeable when cruising around at low speed. As car is almost ridiculously smooth over rest of range could just be me being hyper sensitive was wondering if anyone else had felt similar. or if could be problem in the making. When in neutral engine at same revs is smooth.
Many thxs

dp,
Thought this may have been a harmonic vibration corresponding to peak torque of engine, but checked the specs, and V8's peak torque is at over 3,000rpm. Also the V8 would be "drive-by-wire" too, eh?
If it's only faint, then ignore it, or wear thicker soled shoes! Hooroo...

most vibrations through the drive line as minute as you say ar nothing let it develop which means it wont cost any thing till maybe 200,000ks,plus patrols have a vibration at under 1200revs when motors are under load but have not cost their owners any dollars
well into the high k,s . 4x4s are very truck like big gears bearings housings and every thing that goes with these vehicles, so dont try and compare them with cars, also if you owned earlier 4x4s the tecnology wasnt there and yoy wouldnt have felt al these vibrations, now you have a quite 4x4 you will pick up any thing and make something of it.

Hi,
My Father owns a '96 Toyota Camry. He has a chronic vibration at a little over 2000rpm, no matter what gear, or what conditions the vehicle is being driven in. He has taken it to a couple of transmission speacilists, all of which agree that a lot of Toyota's have harmonic balance problems. He has not been able to rectify the problem. It was not there when he bought the vehicle, but has slowly developed. He has been informed that it will not damage the vehicle, but it is EXTREMELY annoying!!
Just my experience with this Tojo problem.
Tristjo.
