Title: Fc missalignment and tramp
Post by: whitevandan on January 26, 2012, 10:48:43 PM
Hi all.

Im having some issues. First off the rear of the gearbox is hitting on  the transmission tunnel. I\'ve slackened off the bolt that bolt the  gearbox to the C channel that goes to the diff and can move the box over  but naturally wants to sit against the right hand side of the tunnel.  The engine mounts dont look as if they are slotted to allow adjustment  to the eng/box position and they dont look bent. Where is the rear of  the box suppost to sit. I\'m guessing more central.

The other problem is when you light up the wheels there is a lot of  tramping going on. I dont think its from the rear end as I\'ve checked  everything and there is no play or movement. As the gearbox is  missaligned and close to the transmission tunnel I think its the eng and  box that is moving and hitting the body. I\'ve checked the eng mounts  and they seem a bit soft but they are std so guess they are going to be a  bit plush.
Is there anybody with a similar experience.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
