Vibration on acceleration from stop
Uh-oh.. I did some searching and found stuff all over, but nothing very useful, here is the trouble:
1- with the car at a full stop, in neutral(manual 5 speed) and clutch released, sometimes there is a whirring noise, if I depress the clutch 1/8 inch(really barely touch/apply no pressure at all), the noise goes away. Noise is not there at all times when car is stopped and in neutral with clutch released.
2- when I engage the clutch, put the car in 1st gear and accelerate normally, there is a shake/rumble/vibration for 1-2 seconds, until the car is at about 10mph. From there on, the car responds normally. No smell, no loss of power, and it really does not feel like the clutch is slipping...
3- when shifting down, specially from 3-2-1, I can feel a slight rumble.
All this started happening this afternoon after a somewhat hard acceleration to get in the highway, and I had to "hang" in 3rd for about 40-50 yards to keep rev up to get into the next lane.
So, in your experience, what can the problem be?
