e36 shudder under load

[Guetzer]

Hi gents!

My car started to shudder/vibrate heavily yesterday when under load, i.e. when im in gear and giving some gas. I suspect its either the guibo, propshaft centre bearing or rear cv's? I've had a look and cant see anything suspicious, there are some small cracks in the guibo but no tears or anything.

Does anyone know a decent place I can take the car to in the CT area to have this checked out?

Thanks!

If there are visible cracks on the propshaft coupling then it's long gone. I couldn't even see any cracks on mine but when I took it off it was obviously faulty.

+1 and only replace it with OEM! 1 hard launch with the replacement part and it will be in pieces

That's not too bad, I was expecting worse...

Ok so the propshaft doesnt vibrate under load, more like when the revs run down from around 3000 to 1500rpm it stars to really shake everything. the guibo seems to be ok, the center bearing seems to be ok but the rear universal joint seems to be a little bit stuffed.

Is there any place anyone can recommend i take the car to please guys!?

Hmmm apparently garage 808 is good. This sounds like the dual mass fly wheel now or a mounting of some sort.
