Might have box probs again

[Andyvalver]

Went out to check the gearbox mount a min ago. It looks ok tbh, jacked up the box a little as well to see if it was loose, stll seems ok :? .

Jacked up the car, put it in gear and had a play with a wheel. There seems to be alot of play left to right when its in gear. Like 1inch to 1.5inch of play in the shaft. This is not good i think. :cry:

When driving in any gear there is lots of play from accelleration to let off if you kno what i mean.

Engine might have to come out again :roll: :twisted:

Play in stearing has nowt to do wiht box, thats down to column, rack, or stearing arm bushes

[Andyvalver]

Lol, not the steering wheel the alloy wheel. :wink:

[Lunner]

Oh i see, as in rolling back and forth, mine moves a good inch either way, on both sides, and thats with a new shaft on theh o/s and a gearbox rebuild about 20k ago

[Andyvalver]

Yeah, its not good though. When i let off to engine brake it feel like a thud.

Yeah, its not good though. When i let off to engine brake it feel like a thud.

same, didnt do it either b4 i had a new gear box :?

[Andyvalver]

Yeah, my box has only done 10k since it was refurbed. The thud sometimes knocks it out of 2nd gear. Its ****in shit. Genrally though, the gear changes are smooth and posotive :?
