sputtering around 1250-1500 under load only,& serious driveline vibration under load
while this may sound like tis coming from the same cause its not. for the sputtering- when i rev it standing still its fine, when i take off going straight and hitting it its fine, but say if im in third gear moderately accelerating from a turn it will sputter, i have plenty of gas. spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor have been replaced.
for the vibration as long as im 750-1250 rpm accelerating moderately in a higher gear something causes a vibration to where you can feel it through the floor. also if i brake and apply power while in 1st it starts vibrating in the same way and makes a vibrating noise.
i cant figure it out...
Any ideas on any of this?? thanks
btw its a manual if you didnt get it from the whole post

well i would expect that if it was the driveshaft u joints, i just replaced the middle u joint in the front driveshaft because it was pretty bad, fixed the ticking problem it had. now the front right axleshaft u joint is a little loose... by little i mean very very little but i dont think it would cause me to feel like something is vibrating against the floor.

check all your front end parts for tightness/wearing, ball joints as well, control arm bushings, tie rod ends, all that good stuff

its nothing to do with those.. i was just giving a typical acceleration example. i can take off straight under the same speed/gear and it would do it.. i can also be standing still like i said and create the vibration/rattle... anyone have problems with the tcase mount vibrating?
