Ok so the probelm is when im at high rpm (near the red) and try change gear i go to push it in and it just won't go until the revs have dropped a little which i think will be a problem after a map and i try taking it up the strip.
i have put a polybush dogbone in and also aligned the gear linkages, is there anything else i can do??
cheers people :smiley:

try changing the gearbox oil

try changing the gearbox oil

I don't really know as I had a maf issue do never really gave it any stick :undecided:
-
The only time mine ever missed a beat on gear changes was right after the G60 was done, dont think its a coincidence you did the gear linkage adjustment, re do the gear linkage adjustment again just to make sure

i did my g60 conversion about 1000miles ago
i will do when im home at the weekend but its a bit bodged atm as one of the arms on the spring mech is broke so i had to put a piece of plastic in there but it doesnt move and was like that right after i adjusted it.
is there anywhere i can get this piece? was also thinkin of doing the tt short shift.
-
main dealer probably, as for the short shift - I have only ever heard bad things about short shifters on cars :lipsrsealed:

Yeah Mate, it's still holding as in you can't rock the engine my hand but I'm sure this is what's causing my gear change so just gonna have to take it easy.

I don't really know. I know wheel spinning etc can cause it but I don't tend to as tires are expensive haha

And this was the old one ....

Was only being held together by the bolts :laugh:
-
What are your new ones, THS? Judging the angle of one pictured, it doesn't look like they are much stiffer :huh:
-
Yeah thy are ths :cool:
They are a lot stiffer the part that is angled is the part that pivots on a axis not the part that attached to the rubber.
I compared by putting my weight on then I could get a fair bit of movement in the old mount with it squeaking etc and on the new ones I couldn't get it to budge :laugh:
-
THS engine mounts FTW :cool:
-
Yeah mine are rock solid, pretty much polybushes in there i think!
