Symptoms of misaligned gearbox mounts
« on: 28 January 2011, 15:47:43 »

I have a noticeable judder and clonking. The judder is when pulling off in 1st or reverse. The clonking is when in a high gear when crawling.
Not sure on gear box oil level or condition. I am relating this to the knock it took nearly 3 years ago. After the knock, I was in gear but there was no drive. After being given a shove it was drivable again but not been right since and is now getting worse.
Noise is definitely  gearbox and not the diff.
Any ideas or experiences welcome.

Could it be that the rubber mounting block on the (rear) gearbox mount has come apart from the metal?.

Assuming you can get underneath the car it is fairly easy to check. Chock the back of the gearbox and then drop the mount.
