Job well done.  |
It must have been like that for over 6 months but lately it got so bad that I had to investigate. Before the job the engine shook so much that you could see the entire car shaking from behind and the gear shifter jumped around a stupid amount.
Now the gear shifter stays almost completely still and I can't feel the engine running when inside the car
I'm amazed by the torque I have now because I can easily take off in 2 gear without any throttle. I instantly noticed a massive improvement in city driving because now I don't have to down shift nearly as much.
I was just driving home and I didn't even notice my rpms were at 1000 in 4th gear when turning and the car didn't start shaking at all. Before I would have instantly noticed the crazy vibrations when rpms fell below 1500 and be forced to down shift into 3.
The advice definitely helped a good bit in finding the issue. It was definitely delivery valve related but not in the way I was expecting at all haha
