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.
