rodney 17 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 need a little more information please bud..Does it stay in gear and make any strange noises from the gear box? If you leave it any gear accelerate and then lift off does it bang/knock? Does the gear lever move around a lot?Does it feel sloppy when changoine gear??trying to figure out if you have a mount or something gone or you just hit a pot hole....let us know Link to post Share on other sites
dru 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 cheers budyes it stays in gear when it does it but no noises from the gear boxyes when i touch the accelerator on and off the is a feel of a knock but no noise if that makes sense and the gear lever doesnt movechanging gear feels smooth as except in first it feels like the lever is to far forward but this is probally normal as my vaux is very short between the gears the bang it makes is very much like hitting a pot hole HARD but definatly wasnt one ;-)the guy at the garage i used said it may be the torque bar ????? never heard of it myself but as long as im not to hard the the clutch its ok , could it just be the fact that i drive like a tard?

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 how did you check engine movement ?Did you put hand brake on. clutch down, stick it in 1st and let foot of clutch slowly while observing any engine movement? You'd have to be a big bloke to be able to move the engine by rocking it Link to post Share on other sites
