Are you getting small Vibrations?
Hi... I noticed today that I'm getting some vibrations from the car and feeling it on the steering wheel. I feel it alot when I put the car in reverse. I was wondering if any one else feel this. Is this normal?
In my Fuel test thread I spoke about miles per gallon and testing to see if I'm getting the proper fuel consumtion.
I just lowered the grade of my fuel from 93 to 87octain. I was thinking that maybe the vibrations might be related to the change of fuel.
Could this be the problem?
I also wrote a thread about sparkplugs in a diffrent colum under this website. I'm planning on changing sparkplugs soon but didn't know if I could do this myself or if anyone has done this to there car and could give me some how to input. Please read my articles on all other topics to know how to give our cars a better feel and to be better maintained.
Does anyone think the vibs could be sparkplug related?
Any feedback is appriciated. Sorry for the long questions but I can't express how much these forums can help all of us to maintaine and better the performance of are cars.
Thank you all. Please reply.

could be your tranny...usually when you only get vibrations in certain gears its transmission related..if you are still under warranty and the condition is easy to reproduce take it in for service
