Hi all

I have noticed recently that my m20 with an auto box is not behaving as it does normally.

Basically from a standstill start there is a lot if shaking until the gear changes up to second but whilst still gaining speed in second, it'll lose revs from 3,500 to 3,000 and then pick up from there.

The shaking of the car feels as though is coming from the centre of the car.

Someone has suggested the engine mounts could be the problem.

Any pointers?

EDIT - What are the symptoms of auto box failure?

I would if it feels like its comeing from the centre of the car it would be the prop centre bearing do you sometimes get a banging noise this will only happen if the bearing is well shagged.

Not a banging sound but the car stuggles to pick up speed, still revs hard but isn't pulling as it did.

As standstill, if I rev no shakes, only when I'm in drive will it shake.

I would have a look at the prop centre bearing then sounds like it could be on its way out. Or if you need some one to do the job for you i can come and have a look at it
