broken gear box mount

[ludaprix]

hiya guys, was getting my dog bone mount changed on the ph1 172 and also found that the bolt on my gear box mount has snapped, i only got the dog bone changed because i was getting a nasty banging noise, didnt get any difference with changing the dog bone in the end

ive order the gearbox mount now, would this have left any permenant damage?

THIS WILL FIX IT.

Part One

Remove the engine cover.
undo the 4 bolts on the left hand mount
get a bar (big one)
jam it behind the back of the mount and rest it against the strut pillar
****mind the AC pipes**** do not rest it against them
push the bar towards the rear of the car (moving the engine forward as far as it will possibly go)
nip all four bolts up nice and tight



Part Two

Jack the car up and secure it.
Drop the front bolt of the new dog bone mount. (Engine side)
see the black bracket attached to the gear box?
slacken the top bolt to finger tight its 13mm
then using a screwdriver or something to pivot the bottom of the black bracket forward to wards the front of the car (so the top of it leans to the back of the car)
it will only move 5mm or so should look like this \ lol.. Keep pushing hard and tighten up the top nut nice and tight.
Now with some force or a friend to bar the engine so you can line up the dog bone mount then re bolt that up.
