@jaribu: Which kacomment? :)!

@McReggae et al: I will get back to you next week. I'm travelling today and need to use the car. I've been assured it will not break down katikati ya msitu! Will have it checked and repaired (if possible) on Sunday!

This discussion was on time to assist and enlightened many

i followed up the discussion and upon opening my 'saple',found so many small metalic particles including a piece of magnet. upon enquring,my mechanic said the magnet was meant to capture metal particles that may come with ATF - a sweet lie which i accepted. afew days ago,i did open again and found more particles? To the experts,what trouble/s should i prepare myself for.

transmission is okay and have not noticed any problem

@junior,

What your mechanic told you is very true. The magnet captures any metal piece that may break off from you transmission especially huge ones &gt;5 mm. When you have too many particles in your ATF chances are that your clutches may be soon wearing off. This may portend big trouble for your transmission.

Had the car checked yesterday and this was the result:



The crossmember had an 'injury' causing the gear box console to rest on it. The mechanic was of the opinion that this is what was causing the vibration. The crossmember was straightened but this only reduced the vibration and did not stop it.
The mechanic checked the tokbox and was of the opinion that nothing was amiss. However,the way he answered when I asked him whether the converter is unlocking when brakes are applied left a lot to be desired. I will have a different guy check it out in the course of the week.
Lemmie assure all (esp. extrablessed), the engine mountings are very ok! I actually don't need to replace them anytime soon!

Misfiring ignition coil? We replaced it,and even with a new one,it was still vibrating.
Cylinder head and gasket problems? Nothing! Everything is okay in that area.


Still haven't lost hope. If the vibration can be reduced,it can be eliminated all together. I will let you know when the problem is sorted!

sasha,

I had a similar problem sometimes back,took my car to Industrial area where they diagonize the car using a computer system and they came out with the solution of checking the gear box mountains.

yes! Gear box mountains could be what is worn out in your car..

have them changed!
