Vibrating Midrange.. Help !

[shars200]

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 !!!!!!!!

Engine mounts?

Did you have that problem as well colin,is that what it turned out to be,do they just need tighting up or replaced !!!!!

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.

It doesn't get any more severe - almost all RS200s do it... there have been a few other posts about this....
