Gearbox mount problems
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2016 1:50 pm
I've recently put in a new gearbox mount in my lc lancer. Running a 4g32 standard box etc. I'vedone a mmanual conversion but had the gearbox crossmember modified to sit the box exactly where it should. Still using factory ctossmember and chassis bolt locations. I just welded some metal plates to the end of the cross member and drilled some holes to bolt up. No problems droving, just the Mount
I noticed a driveshafts noise driving today and had a peek under. Mount has collapsed and box I would imagine it put of alignment for the shaft and that's what's making the noise as the shaft doesn't like rotating on the angle it's on.
Anyway, being the Mount is only a few months old I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or a common problem etc. I don't want to put another mount in for it to do the same thing every few months. How likely is it the Mount itself is just too cheap and nasty or could something else be at play here making this happen? Any potential solutions? Thoughts?
Cheers
