Hoping someone might be able to give me an idea what might be causing this.

I have an '05 2.2l 5 speed.
Sometimes while accelerating I feel a fairly strong vibration in my pedal. I can hear it also. It's almost like a chattering. It doesn't do it I rev up in neutral, so I dont think it's the engine.

Oh and it doesnt do it all the time.

I first thought maybe my rotore were really warped so I changed them but that didn't solve the problem.

Could the transmission or clutch cause a noise/vibration like this?


Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

could be your hub bearing
does it vibrate in like second or third gear?
and does it vibrate past a certain rpm?

 

cv axel

 

When's the last time you had your tires balanced?

 

bent wheel? - front wheels will vibrate your pedals and wheel while rear ones will vibrate your seats and cabin

 

I have a metal on metal chatter in 1 & 2 at hiher rpm

 

I remember reading somewhere about the use of faulty hardware in the timing chain... ?

 

I've noticed it vibrate in every gear but first.
But it doesn't always do it.
It seems to start around 2-3k rpm.

Been a year or so since I've done an alignment or balanced the tires.

 

I'd start with balance and rotate depending on how long it's been since you did that...

 

Sometimes pre-ignition / pinging / detonation can sound like metal on metal chatter....

Check your gas Octane, intake temps plug temps ect

 

Did you recently curb any of your rims? I've heard complaints of this before on other forums and its usually something wheel or axel ish related like most others are saying

 

Ever come up with a fix?

 

did you lower your car?? if not maybe your mount it hitting the steering rack...that's what I got...same thing going on by the sounds of it and I am scared that it might be the cv joint but it keeps getting better everytime i take some off the mount and put shims in .
