This vibration occurs when accelerating, i am in high revs for example and i dip the clutch and rev the engine the vibration isn't there.

So essentially the vibration only happens when its in gear and accelerating.
Also, when picking up in gear it knocks, for example giving more throttle in low speeds especially it seems to knock and clicking noise like when you press 'spark' on a gas hob. lol

I'm not a mechanic but its like the gear box mounts are perhaps loose or something as it only happens when in gear.

thanks to anyone who can help.

mine shook on acceleration and it turned out to be a cv joint gone
needed a whole new shaft
have you noticed one of your front wheels get coved in black muck on the inside recently?
check cv boots on both sides for if the have popped or have slid off

No, but i have had the wheel bearing repaired and its still squeaking, so this could imply that the CV boots have gone and got through to the drive shaft.

Could a squeak mean that cv boot has gone?
repd btw.

I have this, it happens around 1.5k and again at 3k revs, it's the exhaust hitting the heat shield, causing a slight vibration, could be that.

i suppose if it was that, surely it would happen when in neutral aswel as the engine is still running?
