If it were a Classic 900 it would sound like a worn inner driver. My 89 SPG did it after 282,000k and did exactly what you describe, only on passenger side. Almost like a wheel out of balance under accelerated load, usually 3rd-5th gears. Good Luck, Tom SPGx2 SethJS wrote in message <19981206020240.00940.00000606nopsamw1.aol.com>... >I have a 95 900s with 86k on it. > >After two of the three main drive-belt pullies locked up and shredded the belt >another problem sprouted.
