a gearbox mount wont stop the whine, in my opinion neither will new oil. Been there done that.  :undecided:

no, I mean the one at the back engine bay, passenger side.  (so right hand rear as you look in the bay)

>a gearbox mount wont stop the whine, in my opinion neither will new oil
no it won't but old oil and a knackered mount didn't help mine not-whine.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.
