Neon :: 2003 - Deep Vibrations When Put In Gear And Driving
Aug 13, 2013
My 30 neon when driving will have deep vibrations. Me and my friend jacked it up to get under it since its a FWD car. My girlfriend started it up and put it in gear and there was nothing. So we checked the tires and they had no play the engine is fine no shaking/ idles smooth. So when we drop the car and we drive it does it. It puzzles me how when the car has no weight on it there was nothing but when we dropped it and drove around there was the noise/vibrations.

It's happened to me the last 3 times I've taken my truck out and drove through some deep snow. I have a hard time shifting the transmission from drive to park. The snow must get packed up under the truck near the shift linkages.

I have a 2003 Dodge Neon with 110k miles. When starting my car and putting it into gear, I have to rev the engine in order for my car to jump into gear. It also does it when I come to a light. I could be at a complete stop and the car will either jump forward or I will have to rev the engine in order for it to slip into gear. What could be the problem?

I decided to take the day off and run out to Melbourne Beach...there are a couple of places off A1A with beach access - but there is some mighty deep sand too...
I locked the differential, jacked it up and turned off the ESP...didn't have any problems at all - but there was a moment...
I guess that the best advice for getting through sand is to keep up your momentum and turn in little bits. I guess I could have deflated the tires a bit, but I'd like your opinions...

My wife's Treg is making a horrible deep rumbling noise right under the gear shifter. It sounds internal somewhere near the transfer case and I hear it about every 10 seconds or so...

I'm getting strange vibration when I hit around 4200rpm in ever gear. Car smooths out at around 5000 rpm. Vibration feels like it's coming from the transmission but it could also be coming from the axels. Original OEM axels were taken off the car by the previous owner. What this problem may be? I don't want to bust open the transmission if I don't need to.

I'm getting ready to replace my front driver side CV joint when I see this.
I thought the joint was bad as there a tear in the outer boot, grease was thrown around on the wheel, and there was an nasty vibration when the car would coast at speed. This gear oil leak just showed up today (or at least this is the first time I've seen this).
The car was sitting for a couple of weeks with no pool of oil on the ground. I pull it into the driveway and all of a sudden its leaking from this location. Could the vibrations and leak be caused by something inside? I sure hope not. What the problem could be?

Whenever I am in a parking lot turning into parking spaces or driving slowly around or even turning into my driveway I have a deep creaking type sound that sounds awful. It's either the suspension going south, something with one of the strut bars or the bigger diameter mid pipe making contact with something when the car is turning. Car is noise free otherwise even over soles bumps, just happens to sound nasty when making turn ins going 2-5 mph.

I have a question about a dodge neon 2002. I am wanting to buy this car from a guy, but he says it needs a power control module. Then car starts up and runs fine, it doesn't smoke etc; the problem is when your driving it, it will not shift into gear and will go back into neutral. I want a opinion on what it could be and what something like that could even cost to get fixed.

Today while driving I heard a pop and than my car got extremely loud with increased vibrations. The noise is not terribly loud at idle but extremely loud while accelerating. I also noticed at idle it seems that nothing is blowing out the exhaust tips
My question is, if the flex pipe is covered under the extended emissions warranty and if is not covered by the warranty would a catless dp fix my problem?

Bought it yesterday. (also got hit by a deer yesterday!!!) anyway the car is very deep sounding Im not sure how to describe it, before shifting. Cruse's fine but in the low gears just dosent sound or feel like what im used to. I've never had a 5 speed, so hitting top geat at 70 mph is also new..IF you have an eclipse..how does it sound and feel?

I have a 09 Subaru Forester with 66k miles that vibrates like it is going over rumble strips when it up shifts from 3rd to 4th gear. It occurs under normal (not brisk) acceleration. I had the trans fluid changed at both the 30k and 60k services. I have owned this since new. It began before the 60k service. Also, sometimes the tach will increase revs during this as well. I don't know if this next thing is related but when I once need to merge quickly into interstate traffic I gave it a good amount of throttle and the tach revs increased but the trans did not follow with an immediate down shift.

What's the truth behind the deep pan automatic transmission pans? I hear they are supposed to carry a few extra quarts of transmission oil and result in lower transmission temps. I've also heard this is not true since the amount of fluid going through the transmission cooler over a period of time still remains the same and therefore will not provide any lower transmission temps.

I'm having Dodge Neon 2000 manual transmission. Suddenly the reverse gear stopped working (others working). I got it towed to my regular mechanic (used to charge comparatively lower than other local shops) and he said one of the shifter cable is broken and other one is stretched. Need too replace them. Is it worth it? (It's an old car and recently I've been spending a lot on this).

I have a 95 neon SOHC that drives with a very high Idle. Not all the time, but 85% of the time witch i find strange. This has been going on for the better part of a year and the car is almost undrivable. Its putting a hurting on my breaks for sure.
I had replaced the PCM 5 years ago. Replaced the timing belt 2 months ago. I have searched all around for vacuum leaks but am not able to find anything. I pulled the throttle body off and cleaned it very well. I replaced the IAC.
The car continues to idle out of control as if the IAC is wide open. The only way to get the car to idle correctly is to cover the idle hole in the throttle body 90% up with my finger. The guy at Auto Zone said if its not IAC or vacuum hoses, then I should start replacing sensors. How do I diagnose this problem?

I have a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder. It's 4wd with a manual transmission. I was getting an intermittent problem with vibrations coming from the front passenger side wheel when driving on the highway. They recently got worse and I'd notice a slight burning smell coming from the wheel area. There would also occasionally be a metallic clicking/plonking noise coming from the wheel and a slight hissing sound. I took it into a mechanic (not my regular mechanic because he was gone for the week) and they said it has something to do with the transfer case. They said they took the front right tire off after putting it on the rack in neutral, and they couldn't get the to spin freely. They said it could be something with the drive train or transfer case, but they weren't sure without taking it apart. They said it could be something to do with the 4wd not disengaging, but again, they're not sure.

With a 100 k on the odometer, the wife reports that the car started shaking, trans was slipping and check engine light came on after driving about two miles. She drives it at low speed back to the house. Investigation under the hood shows trans fluid in the radiator and coming out of the overflow tank. Engine starts right up and we have not had any other driveline problems since owning the car in 2005.

I have my Accord Automatic. Well when driving and the car goes like to a different gear, it slides. When this happens i let go of the gas and press the gas slowly again and go back up to my speed.

My R is vibrating in second gear near full or full throttle around 2,000 Rpm. It feels like a high frequency vibration. It seems to be only happening in that scenario. It's when the turbo spools up and there is a large rush of exhaust gas produced very quickly. My guess is that my apr downpipe paired to the stock cat back is the culprit. It didn't happen when I first put the downpipe on, but after the next track day it started. I don't know if there is anything to burn in inside the apr downpipe but it got louder too. Could it be back pressure from the stock cat back? It's very strange and I wondered if it is stage 2+ but running the stock cat back has felt this? I checked to see if the drive shaft was rubbing on anything and for any other visual indicators of rubbing around the downpipe and I see nothing. Perhaps it's the stock muffler. I'm just not sure.

I have a 2003 Mazda 6, 5-speed. Whenever I'm driving in higher gear (4th or 5th), the tachometer seems to jump. For instance, if I'm driving at 50mph at 3,000rpm in 5th gear and I want to accelerate to ~65mph, the tachometer seems to jump to 3,5000-4,000rpm, then drop down to 3,000rpm and then slowly increase as I accelerate.
What's the reason for this random jumping/revving? I don't think the clutch is going bad or slipping. It only seems to happen in higher gears, even without me shifting--only when I want to accelerate.

When I turn on the a/c I feel/hear vibrations from the dash. Almost like a subwoofer - a solid note though. Shut the a/c off, the fans in front of the engine shut off and it sounds fine. Cooling fluid is fine. No noticeable shakes under hood. Any clue?
