@sasha - aside from flywhisk's very valid point smile you know with any experiment,you must always have the same apparatus if you want to do the same thing twice - hence the vibrating driver is a prerequisite. Any substitute might affect the outcome of the experiment. Having said that. flywhisk is on to something smile@flywhisk,haraaaammmmbeee!

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

Sasha.. have not read thro' the responses.. Is your car auto or manual? if manual the problem is highly likely to be the pressure plate! else.. you need to upgrade !

if the incompetent and the reckless compete,the result is a disaster.. MN

@flywhisk: Wacha!

@Djinn: Unfortunately, duty calls. Have to go away on some assignment. But will give you a shout when I'm back!

@Njung'e: Yes, a blast was had! Unfortunately I didn't get to see the Kerio Valley. I read somewhere else comments by Djinn, mukiha and kingfisher how good this place looks and I feel bad I didn't experience it while I was in that region! Ah well ... That means a second trip!

@Mali: The car is my mum's!

@Sasha - for some strange reason am experiencing the same issues as you have described on this thread, only that mine is a Mitsubishi Lancer.

But your experiences on vibration, temperature, etc. while on D are exactly what I experience.

The diagnosis I got was transmission/clutch needed to be checked, not checked yet.

Was yours ever fixed? Like Mkimwa, I would like to know what your cure was please.

Aaah! The vibrations!

@DonBen & Mkimwa: The vibrations stopped after the torque converter and the water pump were changed. A maverick mechanic suggested that the water pump was not working properly thus causing the engine to overheat especially when it was hot outside. We changed the torque converter first and the vibrations reduced to a minimum. But after changing the water pump, the car is so smooth you may not know whether the engine is running!

I apologise for not getting back to everyone earlier and would like to thank everyone for the very useful advice you offered! I should pour some crates at the next get-together!
