ok Firstly I have stolen this Idea from BennyET....

ok I have noticed my gearbox pops out of 5th gear and I have always thought it was the sincro gear on its way out. but after talking to Benny he informed me of his mod. So I put my hand on the engine, gave it a bit of a wiggle and sure enough it wobble like a bitch chucking a wobbly.

I was talking to Benny and . N/A Dampeners which are solid metal not those pissy little shocks....

Thanks Benny, lets hope this helps with 5th gear popping out.

hope you guys like this one. Ill let you know when I take it for a wrap tomorrow to see the effect

Cheers,
Dexi

how did it go adam? yeah i remember your engine had a couple inches movement when pushing on it. should be nice and firm now, if you need a rear gearbox mount i replaced that on mine aswell.

Not completely sure Benny. I charged the battery the other day and when i checked on it, the battery shat itself, and I'm being serious. it died in its ass and leaked from its bottom.

but i did get to drive down the road and back before it died and it seems a lot better.
