Default Re: 2000 Model Cougar Kicking and Bucking!

John, a process of elimination required here.

Does it still do it when the fuel tank is full??(if not then it is not the fuel pump).

Does it still change gear OK?? (then it is not the gearbox).

If it is vibrating through the steering wheel it won"t be the electrics. Check the diffrentials and the engine mounts. (I have had to replace all of the engine mounts).

Sorry to say but the alternators on Aussie Cougars are different from the U.S. ones the best thing to do is go for a re-build same thing applies for the air-con compressors.

IMHO....Forget FRAUD dealers and find yourself a good mechanic.
