85 1.9 four speed.... I've no tach, but I'm guessing it's about 1200 or so. Doesn't happen down hill, and on level ground it's almost impossible to hear, but on any incline in first and second, there's a really nasty vibration from the rear. The more the incline the worse the vibe. Only for a brief rpm point. If it starts at 1200 it's gone at 1250 or so. Thinking that I might have a loose motor/tranny mount I had a look and did find some loose. But the vibes still there. Maybe there are some motor mounts I didn't find? or some other cause? At the crossbar support I found two loose bolts on one side, and at the front of the tranny, there's a horizontal plate with 4 bolts going straight up (right next to a 3"cylinder), all 4 being loose. Did I miss some other tranny support? Just came back from Canada, and I'm hanging loose in Seattle before heading into Idaho.
