Guys
That problem sounds very similar to one thats plauges my Stanza. Question is how to fix it.
Could it be just poor dampers and fixed with fresh ones and maybe stiffer springs???

James,
Axle tramp was pretty common when you put a hot engine into an EH in my day.
The easiest way to check for this condition is to have someone follow you on
a quiet road. It sounds like you're on the money but it could be the body
flexing and altering the input angle to the diff which also gives a similar
feeling to tramp.
regards
Terry

Subject: axle tramp?
Hi guys,
I've just been working on my friends 1000 coupe, he's put a _really_
worked A15 in it. The problem we are having is a severe vibration that
occurs sometimes under hard acceleration, usually after shifting from 2nd to
3rd. It feels like the rear wheels are bouncing up and down, and losing
traction, but its not like normal losing traction - slipping sideways, its
up and down? Its pretty scary, do these symptoms sound like 'axle tramp' ?
ie the rear suspension is bottoming out on a hard gear change and the diff
is bouncing?? has anyone had similar symptoms putting a race engine into a
car with stock suspension ?
any input appreciated,
James Empson.
