Gear stick vibration

Post by Robbie224 »

Hello. 1971 gt at certain speeds above 60mph there is a vibration through gear stick, easing off accelerater it will disappear speed up again it returns so it's only happens at certain engine revs.
Any ideas be much appreciated.
Thanks Rob

Some ideas here in link below that might help for the (pre-rod change) remote gearlever vibration problem:-

The BMC works team added rubber hose around the gear lever to change the resonant frequency....many Mini owners did the same back in the day.
