hey guys recently bought a Mazda B2500, and ive noticed a bit of a vibration when the van is driving, when the vehicle is moving i can feel the vibration at low rpms (i can also see it on the rear view mirrror) when i touch the rear view it stops. i can also feel it on the clutch pedal slightly,

ive changed both front bearings (helped a bit)

could it be the drive shaft the rear wheel bearings, the clutch, or the gearbox itself?

greased the cross with castrol blue grease, it helped a bit, but the vibration is there again, any help is greatly appreciated.

speedometer problem - possibly the solenoid needs to change in the speedometer.

Vibration - try greasing your cross on the driveshaft. Easy to do, and use Castrol Blue Grease.. it works!
Should be done every 50,000 km, or earlier if you do a lot of offroading or work in extreme conditions.

Also could be the speedometer sending unit, had this problem before and it was the actual wires had a short close to the unit. Unit is mounted on the gearbox/ transfer case.

This vibration could be coming form your gear box. There are some bearings in the box that when worn cause the gears to go out of alignment thus causing a vibration. I can check it free of charge for you. I also stock all models of these type gearboxes. You can contact me @ 3614048
