Centre bearing?Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91435-vibration-under-hard-load-in-any-gear/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolNah wait til one of the smarties on here comments. Cause I wouldn't have a clue. Centre bearing could be true if it isnt diff bushes? But that's just guessing.

Mounts failing will rattle the whole car (like a big spanner hitting in the engine bay) at idle or driving slowly like in a carpark. Under constant power it's fine, no chance for the engine to wobble back and forth if it's putting out the big torque.You've got big power. I think my auto slips a bit if I load it right up at low RPM. It's fine after about 2k though. It shudders if it's at quite low RPM and I'm asking too much of it.Edit - how many kms on the car?
