Hi,

Has anyone ever it a gti6 engine in a 306 sedan? If so, did you incur any problems such as vibrations on the passenger side, gearknob wobbles, I have changed almost everything from bottom mount, ball joint, axles and the problem persists. I am rolling on 17's with 40mm springs and koni shocks. Any ideas/suggestions on the cause of my problem?

the vibration comes from the passenger side gear knob and dashbord

vibrations happen on take off its as if the car has so much power it can't stabilize. Also every time I accelerate and change gears...vibration. Most of the time it feels as if it is from the passenger side. I tightened the subframe problem persists. Can the shock mount cause that?

Most likely a knackered driveshaft.

The symptoms you describe immediately point me in the direction of an unserviceable driveshaft. Yes

I forget.

Talking about anagrams, though, and I remember 'slide my balls' is an anagram of Miss Ladybell.
