    2nd Gear shudder

    I have a shudder under accelleration/load exclusively in second gear. It is not a 2-3 transitional thing, either - it's right in 2nd. Doesn't behave like TC Shudder which is transitional between gears. any ideas or any body have this? I am wondering if this is tranny related or not. I have Eibach Pro - could this be simply the "wobble"?

    Related Question - are the drivetrain parts from the Differential out to the wheel bearings the same for regular Galants and GTZ's? My ES is only lowered to about the height of a "stock" GTZ.

    According to parts.com it is...but Manybrews has told me that the GTZ uses the same Eclipse aluminum...er...control arms or such I think. Though the prices are still the same either way for some reason when comparing GTZ vs Non-GTZ. This is why I'm trying to track down exactly what the differences are between a GTZ and the rest of the pack.
