    Might have box probs again

    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.

    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

    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
