golf harris 0 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 fitted one of those vibra technics gb mount as the vw one was a bit pants. fitted all fine, easy job tighted all the bolts up sweet i thought! ran the car up the road 100% better gear change nice and tight but now the gear box is making a whine(from the word go) should it do this as the mount is harder or does anyone elses do this?? i new that it might vibrate a bit but why is it making the g box whine? oh and the g box had no whine before i put the v t mount on! could some one get back to me on this as its a bit of a worry. thanks in advance lee Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Pretty sure these increase gear box noise in the cabin so probally nothing to worry about sure someone will confirm this for you tho. Link to post Share on other sites
golf harris 0 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 cheers mate, just a bit worrying as it sounds like a quiet straight cut box!which is cool but its the g friends car and she thinks its less cool!! but she ordered it knowing it might be a bit more noisy. anyway if other people could let me know if this whine is normal. cheers Link to post Share on other sites

golf harris 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 oh good! thought i had f^cked the gear box up just by fitting it. also is there any gear linkage bushes that can tighten up the gear change? as its a bit sloppy (stirring gravy springs to mind)!!!

spadam 7 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yea id like to no this to as want to tighten my gear changes up any info much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
golf harris 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 so you have a slop box too !!i found parts for a mk1/mk2 but not the 3 there must be something as most cars there are upgrade kits (kids scooter wheel bearings of all things). think its the only thing that ruins the drive cos its as smooth as a peach other wise.

spadam 7 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 My changes are ok but do want them to be tighter and shorter. May have to buy a b&m short shifter unless i can modify my exsiting linkage to give me a shorter throw like you can do on the 4 motion box. Link to post Share on other sites
golf harris 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 yeah my"her" changes are fine,nice and quick and positive but just lacks that "springy" feel and like you say it needs to be shorter a short shifter would be nice but being my ladies car im sure i would get moaned at like im getting it in the ear for the upgraded mounts but i told her the engine would blow up if i didnt put them on lol:) dont think she belived me...?! just hope that whine is down to the new vt gb mount!
