Rocking gearstick under load / gearbox mounts
I have noticed thatwhen driving the splitty, the gearstick is rocking backwards and forwards when I put the gas on and take it off. The bite on the
clutch seems to be a bit closer to the gorund as well.
Is this a symptom of trashed gearbox mounts?
I have been meaning to replace the nosecone brass bush in the selector rod in the g/b nosecone, and this might be my opportunity.
Cheers
Steve

Hi
Sounds like a broken mount or nose cone. Put the car in gear with the motor and handbrake off, get someone to rock the car back and forward to see
whats moving.
