Still does it after checking pressures.
Does it in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th regardless of revs, from between 50/55 and
arround 70 (btw, 70 in 3rd sounds awesome).

Thing is, only occurs for 5 minutes is, first 15 minutes after coolant
gauge shows normal/middle it is fine. 4th and 5th both cleanly pull 50.
No vibration. Then suddenly it comes on, doesn't matter whether the road
is straight, veering right or left, it just does it. Then, it just goes
off.

The brake is still binding though, because it will hold on a slight
slope in either direction out of gear with no handbrake.

Sounds like something in the transmission, propshaft, diff, driveshaft ?


Are you sure it's a brake binding, is one wheel getting hotter than the
others after a drive?

Not sure other than by touch they both feel pretty warm, but you out a
car on a slope out of gear it will roll. This won't

Just wondering if the vibration was transmission related perhaps it not
moving when out of gear is related. Anything binding between the clutch and
the wheel would also stop it moving when out of gear.

Get shot of it while you have the chance, IMHO. Knowing your history
with cars this will run and run until you get pissed off with the whole
thing and flog it for little cash...
