ok so my camaro (5-speed)has been acting up lately the newest thing it does now is when i start to roll from a dead stop the car vibrates a lot and after i take my foot of the clutch all the way its fine and it is also fine through all gears it had never done this untill now and im guessing its the bad tranny mount or .................

 

...or the clutch assembly. Best bet is to change the trans mount if it's the original, to eliminate that. It's cheap and easy to change.
...and hope it isn't the clutch.

 

sounds like it could be clutch chatter

 

i doubt its the tranny mount, you would know if it was because when you hit the gas the shifter would kinda walk up outta your hand, when the engine torques the trans would lift up and bounce when you let go of the gas, check it but it sounds more like clutch chatter as the above mentioned

simply because its when you put a heavy load on the clutch from a dead stop and your putting all the power through it to turn the wheels, you can take a look at the mount but its doubtful, im replacing my mount with a polyurethane one from Energy Suspension because even the ones you get that are "OEM " are weak and flex alot

 

it was actually the trans mount the one it had was gone!!! i guess it was a good thing it was only the bushing and not the clutch. Replaced it and now its back to normal

 

wow it was gone and you didnt notice the shifter walk? thats amazing, i snapped mine and it startled me when i hit the gas and it shot straight up outta my hand lol

 

i actually did notice that the shifter would rise up when i hit the gas but that was the day i ended up fixing it because first it lasted for a while just vibrating. i actually had to put a cross member from a trans am 5 speed tpi because the one mine had was a really strange looking bushing it was round and it had some type of hydrolic fluid inside and it wasn't available in any auto parts stores and it was 250 in the chevy dealership. so now it has a trans am crossmember
