When I rev my engine at a stand still the car wobbles, I notice when thrashing it from a standstill there is alot of movement in the engine before it actually decides to launch, is there anythign I can do to improve this?

Also when donutting, wheel spinning, drifting out of junctions the gearstick wobbles like crazy? Is this normal?

I also get the wobbly gearstick syndrome at high speeds on the motorway (80MPH+)?

The car has always done this, just now ive decided to question it.

Any help would be great

Thanks

the gear stick wobble is totally normal.

as for revving from a standstill, the car might initially wobble as the engine spins up, but if you have the clutch in and are holding the revs at say 6000rpm for a launch, there should be no wobble at that point.

as for "thrashing it at a standstill and the engine moves before the car launches" i am not sure what you're saying here.

did you buy the car used? Check your motor mounts, never know right.

Thrashing it may just be an english term

Thanks for confirming it was normal

I did buy the car used with 21k on the clock, its now got 44k. I'll chweck the mounts at the weekend.

Thanks again

How about upgrading them anyway? It was a nice mod on VW's.. who makes kits and how much vibration?

There is an engine damper kit available in the "S2KI Marketplace", if I remember correctly. This helps with the wobbly shifter.

Check out the J's engine torque damper... most of those who purchased this say it's the perfect remedy for the engine movement/vibrations.
