Hi Folks ,

I have a really bad teeth rattling vibration on the car at 2200 revs. Its irrespective of speed. I can use the choke and get it to 2200 rpm or be going down the road in 4th.

It rattles the whole car , especially the exhuast. I get no "rattle feedback" through the steering wheel or the pedals so I dont think anything is fouling.

I have crawled all over the car but cant seem to find the obvious.

Can you help ?

Rear engine mount might be loose or broken, better yet check all the engine mounts

Rear mount in the right order ? As in assembled in the right order ?

I am pretty sure they are all in good nick as I had the engine out 3 weeks ago ..

double check just incase.

If all the mounts are fine, check there all tight to the engine aswell as the subframe.

Passenger driveshaft cv in good condition, had 1 of mine play up caused a vibration at 2k

When I swapped over my engine from dead to working engine i did swap over my flywheel. I tightened it on well ...

If it's relative to engine speed and not wheel speed then surely it can only be something bolted to the engine causing it...
