[197] Signs of a failing gearbox?

[Typhoon]

I've noticed, whenever I'm in 4th gear, if I put my foot on the accelerator slightly and then take it off, I feel a 'kick back' through the gear stick.

Could it be time mine is about to pack up?!

Sounds more like normal engine movement to me. Id say worn mounts rather than failing gearbox but I'm no expert!

Hopefully mate!

They all go sometime! ~70k+, useless boxes. Mine crunched, in 3rd & 4th, but it never actually "went" in my ownership.

Could be worn mounts, theyre getting on now.

Definitely a poor build mate! Was a risk I took when I bought it I suppose! It's just had a new exhaust manifold, new flexis and downpipe.. be buggered if it's gearbox time!

Yeah, will be replacing all of these shortly - hopefully it's just that.

More than likely the mount

Not the box, that'll be mount related. Can't say I've notice mine do it, but in a mk2 it would be a worn dogbone that would cause it.
