drives fine. perfectly nothing out of the ordinary.

but if you put it into power mode. and go to overtake. probably dropping the auto box from 4th-2nd.

it will launch from 80-120 pretty quickly (supercharged)

but as soon as you ease off. the whole car vibrates. you can feel the gear lever vibrating at 4000miles an hour and the whole car shakes.

is it something as simple as an out of balance tailshaft??

because as soon as you say hit a pot hole the vibrations instantly stop

does it occur when you are not accelerating? Mine vibrates when i decelerate between 80 and 100. It is caused by the tailshaft being out of balance...so I was told.

only seems to occur when i hold gears. overtake. or drop gears.

anything that makes it rev hard and fast.

the vibration keeps on happening upon decelleration aswell.

but if i JAB the throttle once it goes away. almost like its stopping the revirberations.

As above, plus check the rear gearbox mount, and all of the rear suspension rubbers. Let us know what it ends up being. Good luck. :D

yea i got pretty much the same issue with my EL XR6 manual., usually only notice it on a motorway, once i start backing off(deceleration) from 110 to say 80 it vibrates the whole car. will let yous know if and when i fix it.
