Narve N Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 A friend here in Norway has this 31 Nash 871 Convertible Sedan that despite its renowned 9-bearing crankshaft has annoying vibrations at certain road speeds, e.g. around 40 mph. Has anyone experienced disintegrating vibration dampers on these engines or have other tips for what to investigate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Is it worm drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 It is not my car so I do not know it in detail, but it is an all original mechanical configuration for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryLime Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Edinmass, If it is due to a worn worm drive , can the worm wheel be reproduced today ? The prettiest Nash I've ever seen . LIke the paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 The rumbling persist with the clutch depressed. It is not likely it is the rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31nash880 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 According to the repair manual the vibration dampened can cause a vibration at about 40mph then again at 60 mph. Cause is generally rust,corrosion. I have the manual and will try to find. We are moving and many things packed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
