2g vibration in 3rd, bad axle??

[Oneslowgs-t]

I have a 96 gsx with a big 16g turbo, and a fmic. There is no vibration in any other gear except 3rd. It vibrates at all rpm's, a little worse at higher rpms. I have a ripped axle boot on the front left side. Can the vibration be a bent axle or maybe the motor mounts?

I would replace that axle for sure. A Bad one can cause vibration.

Yah but has a bad axle only caused vibration in 3rd gear?

ya one gear only doesnt really make sense,but if you have a ripped boot anyway...

I had the same issue but in 2nd gear. Come to find out my tranny was really worn and the whole 1st and 2nd gear shaft had play it it causing it to vibrate/wobble. If the vibration gets worse and then starts in 4th gear as well, then you need to tear the tranny apart.

i hope it doesnt get worse

Check your trams fluid and replace it. Replace it again a week later and see if it looks bad. After 2 weeks of brand new fluid in trans it looked 6 months old with shavings.

Ive had CV axles wobble before but not in one gear only, it does it at a certain

speed and keeps on wobbling till it slows back down.
