The other day i was starting to get a "thunk thunk" out of the car as i was driving along.
Seemed to be coming from a "loose" gear stick.
It is a very nice CSP unit.
Anyway mucking round there seemed to be looseness in the front engine mount.
It ir the sort where a rubber block sits in a steel cup about 100mm x 75mm by 50mm. 2 BIG bolts holding onto the frame and 3 small bolts onto the gear box.

Wanted a urethene one but could only get a rubber one.
Went in fine and noise went away.

That was say a month ago.

Noise has come back.
It is definitely the gearbox moving and the shifter clunking

So.... question is
1) do the rubber mounts suffer from EMPI syndrome (ie crap)??
2) could it be the REAR mounts. There havent been changed and look soft from what i can see insitu

I am going to put a Berg brace on in a couple months - but that will be with new flanged heater boxes, new rear engine mounts, new painted tin.....ie when i pull the motor at christmas and do a few other things.

Just strange the noise has come back
No where near a bad but still there

thanks

yep for sure if you bought EMPI then u get EMPI quality

you should replace the crappy rear pressed steel gerbox mount with an earlier 40hp mount much stronger but do the mid gear box mount when you pull the engine

also another cause could be you dropping the clutch to much LOL
