Gearbox movement

[JMF894]

I haven't got round to doing my gearbox bobbin mounts yet and i have noticed that the gearlever shakes about quite a bit whilst driving. Will new mounts help to reduce this or could the engine mounts be worn too? I have polybushed the remote linkage already which gave a big improvement in gear change and reduced resonating through the lever.

If your gearbox mountings have gone soggy due to oil contamination, then you should be able to notice a difference.

Thanks for that.

Plan on doing this next Saturday.

The rubber mounts underneath the 'box tend to turn mushy after years of being drowned in PAS fluid leaking from the 'box. Luckily I had the engine out when I found mine were shot, it made changing them a whole lot easier! Mind that was 11 years ago, they could be wrecked again by now...
