Hi All,

I have an rs200 with a Beams Engine. When driving in 3/4 gear at about 3/4500 revs and i take my foot of the accelarator i can feel a vibrating noise running through the car. Its ok at high revs and low revs and ok if i stick it into neutral.

Its not the wheels or the brakes.... anyone have a clue ??????

Any you guys had this problem mines has started to make vibrating noise only now and again seems to be more noticable between 60-40 mph.If you let car free wheel with no accelelation at that speed noise appears but dissapears under acceleration or by puting the clutch in.Seems like a propshaft problem but when inspected on ramp everything looks fine, mechanic in garage thinks propshaft but no visable clues.Any ideas or help appriciated !!!!!!!!

Mine's always done it, and a lot of the other owners on here have said the same thing. I'm told that the engine is prone to vibration in the MR2 - not as bad, granted... if you find a solution, let me know!

no, just sound like it could be that. Make sure they are not split.
