Linkage? I had to go back and see what you were talking about. I forgot I linked that.

It`s like night and day from what it was.

After I did the 4-spd swap, I was getting this vibration. above 2100rpm it would sort of smooth out. below that I would get it. and slowing down to an intersection light, it would buck like lugging the engine. this would be like 12 to 1500rpm.

I read about lowering the trans mount, dropping the center support some. so I was up and down with spaces, changed the trans rubber mount from a 300D turbo, the wider one, to an early 300d with the metal brace on it, and a 240D mount.

It wasn`t until I changed that linkage, everything seemed to smooth out. now I can roll up to a red light in 3rd, and the rpm`s get down to 700, with out any bucking and vibrating. such a simple thing.
