Hi guys got an annoying vibration on clutch and accelerator pedal on my abf.
It's starts around 2500rpm, I'm thinking engine mounts what do you guys rec?

Chances are (unless your clutch is heading south, test this by heading up hill in a higher gear than usual and flooring it, if your revs go up quicker than you would expect it is) that it's the rear engine mount that slots into the subframe if you are thinking engine mounts rather than CV joints, bearings etc.

You need to undo the bolt going through it, jack the engine up and unbolt the three(ish) bolts on the passenger side subframe. Stick a crow/pry bar between the chassis and sub and pry the sub downwards, this should allow enough space to get the bushing out. Oh and most recommend upgrading to the MK3 solid mount.

Cheers, Sam

Sounds daft but I had the lower dash tray vibrating through pedals on mine because the bottom wasn't clipped on near tge pedals

have a look at the gearbox support bracket, if the 2 bolts are put in with the nut side against the chassis leg they can sometimes foul on chassis leg & cause the vibration
