vibration when accelerating

[valver_Karl]

i was drivin my valver hard last night, (after everythin was all warmed up) and then a vibration noise came form my engine bay i think, icarnt work out were its comin from but wen i put it in netural (whilst goin along ) and rev it there is no vibration, but when its in gear say 2nd then it starts to vibrate,

any1 any ideas?

ok well i just opened up the bonnet and tried shakin the engine, and found that the gear box mount is only being held on by 1 bolt, the bolts havent snapped just vibrated loose, should i just re tighten them or will i need to replace some other mounts at the same time?,

just have a look at it first - if its come loose u might need a new nyloc nut

just had a propper look, and i need a new gear box! cuz were the bolt goes into the gear box its the actuall gear box thread that has snapped!!!! oh i wish it was just the bolt,

does any1 know how much a gear box is?

you talking about the pin which goes into the box on one end and the mount on the other? if so get it drilled out and order a new pin which is like 15 to 20 quid i think

might be able to get it retapped to instead of a whole new box

na the hole were the bolt goes into has half broken away, i drove up north last night and bought a new gear box, but he gave me a spare 16v box and said he didnt know much about it so i got it for free, il take some pics of the broken thread hole
