engine mount/ dampener shocks replaced

Post by dexi_styles »

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....

Cheers,

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.
I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow we would probably all have to resort to common sense.

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.
