My valver has always had a fair bit of play in the gearstick when you take your foot on and off the accelerator. (feels like the whole engine and gearbox is shifting Now whateva keeps moving seems to be moving so bad that stuff that shudnt be touching is, because theres some funny noises. I assume its an engine/gearbox mount? is this most likely

also i read in another post it might be a dog bone mount ?? what is this?
cheers guys

just changed mine other day

two bolts to undo to take the ols mount off. under the car next to the exhaust downpipe near the cat.

took me 10 mins and £12 for the mount

i had same symptoms with the gearstick and its like a new car now made a massive difference

Renault one is about £30.

Better to get genuine IMO, GSF ones are crap and dont last.
