L200 Transmission Vibration

[Cosmiccrofter]

I have a 2006 L200 Warrior and it has always had a small amount of transmission vibration that you can feel though the seat that gets worse the faster you go. Over about 55mph if you depress the clutch, you get a lot of vibration through the pedal.

 

Recently it was getting worse with a small clunk when accelerating or decelerating so asked my local spannerman to have a look. He found the rear UJ was badly worn, so replaced it. It is better, the on/off clunk has gone, but the vibration is still there through the seat and when depressing the clutch pedal.

 

Has anyone had a similar problem with theirs?

I have not, but there is a bearing that sits within a rubber bush. This supports the drive shaft in the middle. Check that for excessive wear. Probably the part has a name but don't know what it's called?

Yep prop mount bearing in the middle is a classic; make sure you put the mount the right way round; some have pads on one side of the bracket holes. Another possible is torque mounting arm that has a rubber bush; sits between chassis and transfer box. You might also have a another UJ gone - sure I put a thread up on here with photos of knackerd uj spider - OEM fault - no grease line to one of the 4 bearings.
